Where are the e-mails?Seems to me that the news form Canada just the other night was on the jet stream and now the lower 48 are getting the snow they usually do but that it has happened many times in the past also.Its been a cold winter texas ;soes that mean we are now in for another ice age prediction.We have had snow where i live and the norm is once every ten years. Scienece seem to think that anyhting that fits in with their previous predcition that their funding depends on is proof while ignoring the other things.
it figures that an article quoting actual scientists re global warming, proof of actual WARMING and less snow, a 50 year pattern, not just one weather event, gets ignored while a million other threads with no article, no science, just some poster saying "It's freezing in Florida" gets page after page of responses. It just figures.

Wrong it quotes one person that is a geneticist.

Climate Information for the 2010 Winter Games Period (February - March) (http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/2010/climate/climate_e.html - broken link)
Quote:
Typically mild and stormy, Canada's west coast winters are directly affected by the Pacific Ocean and the coastal terrain. The ocean contributes to mild winters by providing heat and moisture for weather systems. The coastal mountains, valleys, and inlets prolong and intensify rainfall during Pacific storms. The mountains also serve as a barrier that restricts the movement of cold Arctic air that would otherwise regularly make its way to the coast.
In February and March, winter is changing to spring and the weather is relatively mild. Rain falls at sea level with snow in the mountains and inland. Pacific storms produce precipitation on about half the days. Frequent sunny periods occur between storms. Cold, sunny, and dry weather occurs if Arctic air reaches the coast.
There's information there, seems it was just poor choice for an snow Olympic Venue.

Cypress Mountain
At the Cypress ski area (930 m) 25 km north of the airport in the North Shore Mountains, about half the precipitation falls as snow. Sub-freezing overnight temperatures persist through March. However, with the increasing warmth from lengthening days and warmer air masses, wet snowfalls predominate in March. At higher elevations (1400m+) snowfalls may continue through April.
Combine that with:

6. El Niño/La Niña
The climate phenomenon known as El Niño brings warmer winter and spring weather. Warmer air causes higher-than-normal snow levels and therefore a greater proportion of the total winter precipitation falls as rain at this elevation. The snow base at Cypress Mountain is correspondingly lower during El Niño years, sometimes adversely affecting alpine recreation. El Niño's cold sister, La Niña, can also affect snowfall but in the opposite way: during the La Niña of 1998-99, chairlift lines at Cypress Mountain had to be dug out of snow during a season of record snowfall.
At the high elevations of Whistler Creekside and in contrast to the lower elevations of Whilster Village and Cypress Mountain, El Niño seems to produce higher-than-average winter snowfall.
Winter Olympics all wet?: Vancouver has the mildest climate of any Winter Games host city
Wed Jul 9 2003
By Chad Skelton, Vancouver Sun
When Vancouver plays host to the Olympic Games six-and-a-half years from now, it will mark a peculiar milestone -- as the least wintery city ever to host the Winter Games.
Statistics compiled by The Vancouver Sun indicate that no city with a climate as mild as Vancouver's has ever hosted the Winter Games.
Past Olympics have been held in picturesque, snowy towns full of residents bundled up in ski gear.
But world sports fans who turn on their TVs in 2010 will probably see the kind of winter Vancouverites know all too well: a cloudy, rainy city full of people carrying umbrellas.

Please. You sound like such a phony.
That one weather event named Katrina was all hyped up by the global warming frauds. But when we had a quiet Atlantic hurricane season like last year not a peep from the deceptors. Not a peep.
Like I said the global warming crew is a bunch of cherry picking, false data creating PHONIES!

I find it interesting that many ignore the fact that winter seems to come later in the year, and lasts later in the year. We're lucky it snows before Christmas nowadays and even luckier if we dont have snow in April.. Something which never happened as a child..
Global changes, absolutely..
Global warming, seriously doubt it..
