GLOBAL WARMING AND EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS

Well here in Elmira, Woolwich Township, we had our power out yesterday from 11 am until 5 pm. I know places in Kitchener had been out of power as of 6 am yesterday and were still out by 9 last evening. Meanwhile for the third time this year we had branches come down off of mature but certainly not old trees. April and yesterday was due to ice and the wind brought two branches down this past summer. Speaking of summer this last one didn't have a drought as it usually does. The prior summer however was bone dry. This fall we had weeks of rain and with the local construction on Church St. a muddy mess for months.

Are there still climate change skeptics out there? That's the deal with "global warming". It's actually more a case of climate change with extreme weather slowly becoming the norm. Certainly our neighbours to the south have had more than their fair share of destructive weather the last few years.

Anyhow this morning I'm off to replenish my supply of sand and what I call psuedo salt. it's supposed to melt ice but not actually be salt. Home Hardware here I come.
