While you’re dealing with record-breaking ice on the Great Lakes, we’re experiencing an almost 'non-existent' winter with temperatures way above average. It’s the same disrupted Jet Stream, it just hits us differently: you get the super cold snaps, and we get super mild winters with snow only at staggering altitudes  |
This is the first year in maybe a decade that we've had a winter that I remember that resembled winter as child here in Alberta. More snow, but not as cold, and lot shorter. Seems spring is already breaking out here in Alberta, which is quite different than what they are experiencing out in Ontario, etc.
The cold weather is escaping from the polar areas, as warmer weather has pushed up there
