* Tesla schrumpft bereits zum 3. Mal in Folge. Inzwischen werden nur noch knapp 25% der Verkäufe aus 2022 erreicht.
* Nicht Smart war es, den KLeinwagen ForTwo gegen einen SUV auszutauschen.
*Für die Chinesen BYD erfüllen sich alle Träume: sie haben Tesla weltweit und auch in D abgehängt: 700% bei Steckerautos.

Yesterday we had a Yellow snowfall warning and today it's a Yellow freezing rain warning. It seems like the winter of 2025 - 2026 is going to prompt more conversation than usual about the weather. Therefore I'm providing this Wiki article as a public service. You can meteorologicaly mesmerize your family, friends, and coworkers with these wild bits of trivia on Canadian extreme weather. And even if you don't awkwardly wedge some of this into your conversations, the crazy numbers appeal to the weather nerds in all of us.
