Cyclones get names but deadly heatwaves don’t. Should Australia personalise severe weather?
We name severe cyclones and storms, but not heatwaves or floods. Why? Are there benefits to giving Australia’s climate-fuelled extreme weather a name?

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.

Here in beautiful Belle Ewart the temp is -22°C, feeling like -31°C with the wind. But it's a dry cold....
Out west they are struggling with double digit temperatures on the plus side. Edmonton's winter festival organizers are making snow, protecting ice blocks and praying for plunging temps to save their skating rink. The unseasonable weather has impacted events throughput Alberta. The Banff and Lake Louise ice carving festival, Art of Ice, had to take down sculptures because they weren't safe. They were similarly impacted last year. The World’s Longest Hockey Game (WLHG) got underway last Thursday and players are dealing with slushy conditions while golf driving ranges are packed with eager duffers.
I'd gladly make the sacrifice and swap weather conditions with our fellow Canucks out west. It would be a burden that I'd gladly carry.

❄️ It’s freezing cold outside here in Germany, and this is an interesting explainer of why that is: a warming event in the polar region is leading to an early collapse of the polar vortex, so Europe and North America are flooded with cold air, while the North Pole is unusually warm. #weather #climate

Stratospheric Warming Watch: Polar Vortex Collapse has begun, with cold air and snowfall impacts expected
A Stratospheric Warming is now collapsing the Polar Vortex, with polar air and snow forecast across the United States, Canada and Europe in December

We'll be out to dinner locally tonight but I have already co-opted husband to drive there rather than our usual walk. It's too bloody hot! #Summer #Weather #Canberra

Morning!
How is *everyone*?
I've gone back to light mode for my tech stuff... I was finding dark mode a bit opressive 😅
I finally bought a new phone case as rawdogging it without one (after the silicone fail) was causing me deep anxiety.
Also, now using notbor.ing Weather app using accuweather as a source as Apple Weather was consistently incorrect for my location. #Apple #iPhone #DarkMode #LightMode #Weather #App

It's a balmy -22°C here in beautiful Belle Ewart Ontario. Apparently, with the wind chill, it would feel like -26°C if I were to stupidly wander outside. Now before you start reporting colder temperatures in your area - it ain't a competition people - let's remember our country's coldest day in history.
Canada's coldest recorded temperature was a staggering -63°C in Snag, Yukon on February 3, 1947. The temperature was so extreme it broke thermometers and made Snag famous for the record for North America's coldest spot, caused by stalled Siberian air. Other extremely cold locations included Fort Vermilion, AB (-60.6°C) and Old Crow, YT (-59.4°C). Nobody was tonguing steel poles that day.

It's a brisk -23°C this morning but the infallible #Weather app is telling me that we will be -5°C or warmer over the next few weeks. Break out the shorts, Spring has arrived.
In preparation for the big thaw, I think we need a semi-regular series on the top 25 rivers in Canada. Why top 25? Hey, it's my account, my nonsensical rules. We'll count down to #1 in terms of length because size matters.
Today an honourable mention, the St. Lawrence River, commonly referred to as the St. Lawrence Seaway. Although one of the most recognizable rivers in eastern Canada, and one that drains the largest watershed on the planet, it doesn't make it into the top 50 longest rivers in the country.

Today we all finally come to our senses and bow down to the knowledge of prognosticating rodents. Yes, it's #GroundHogDay2026. Beyond the obvious impact of totally rearranging your next 6 weeks based on the prediction of some small mammal, or lobster, there is the economic impact. Wharton, Ontario, a town of 1,900 seemingly sensible Canadians will generate enough tourism dollars to keep Willie in the lifestyle to which he is accustomed.
Some rodent in Pennsylvania has already predicted 6 more weeks of winter, but let's face facts, the U.S. is not really trustworthy these days. Lucy the Lobster in Nova Scotia and Fred La Marmotte in Quebec are both reporting an early spring. The link below provides an update from others across Canada.
Why don't we have a prognosticating beaver?
