What is your weather today? (IV)

[DarthMalgus]

The amount of time and energy some of you dedicate to nitpicking over each other's statements just to be able to say "I am right, you are wrong" is truly remarkable.

Can't help it. I'm a scientist by trade, being rigorous is natural to me. It's hard to fight

On the other hand, I will go ahead and state, mostly for his benefit, that I generally have a lot of respect for geotag277 as a forum user, and that my comment wasn't made to piss him off or mock him. (i.e. I happen to seriously think that you can't dismiss the fact that Calgary springs are cold by simply considering spring as part of your winter, the point being precisely that spring is cold to the point of being almost winterlike.)

In a nutshell:

Person A: "Calgary springs are cold."
Person B: "No they aren't."
Person A: "Yes they are: here's weather data for May and April showing it."
Person B: "Well, May and April, in Calgary we call that winter."
Person A: "..... okay, then... Calgary springs are cold."

I think the word you're looking for is "apt." At least I post weather information in the weather forum.

Well, just keep derailing threads with your cyberbully buddy in the name of targeting me. I'm sure your efforts will bear fruit one of these days!

Teaching someone about seasons, solstices and equinoxes totally qualifies as posting relevant climate information.

I think people take it far too personally when someone explains something basic and almost elementary as you have in your explanation of spring. Certainly it didn't benefit me any, as my ultimate point was simply to point out the usage of "season", especially as it pertains to "snow season" (not even a technically correct term as I can almost see the smoke coming out of your ears from here), as it is relevant to the specific and certainly special regional location of Calgary.

It's no skin off my back that you spent the time to share that information. It may have benefited some one out there. I think the forum would be better off not taking such basic sharing of knowledge personally.

And to give a stunning example of the kind of immature reactions this forum can have, I present this post by 1overcosc who felt the need to share his understanding of how climate works:

Wowww, and it continues. Well, thanks for the support Geo! and thanks Lio basically exemplifying the need for an ignore list on this forum.


Currently +1 at 11 am.

🞵🞵🞵 do you mean by classy? Being Chaddish? Or calling out the 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵? I'd much rather classified into the latter. And I will keep it up so long as the 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵 is being slinged.

Apologies for being a Pedant.

Your responding is what fuels it. Stop responding, and what you perceive to be "cyberbullying" will also stop.

I was quite surprised to discover today that Ottawa's winters are quite sunny. 43% of possible daylight in Ottawa versus 40% in Edmonton for the month of January. I guess I had just always assumed that Ottawa was more like Toronto during the winter in terms of sunlight hours, ie mostly overcast.
