About ten years ago, or less, we had reports that Ontario golfers were out in force...in December that year. I note that now, on this latest warm autumn, it has all ended and the cold and the snow, have returned for you.
The winter of 1968- 1969 was a cold one in western Canada. Calgary, Alberta had a full month of minus 30 F.as the high temperature. A trip to Hawaii out of Vancouver showed 15 Degrees F. on leaving mid-January, arriving Honolulu at 58 Degrees F., a bad cold spell for them and everyone seen there then were bundled up in anything warm. Still snow on the sidewalks of Vancouver when I returned in early February.
Our little coastal town, SW B.C., has not seen snow for nearly two years. But I recall a similar happening in the mid-seventies. But right now, our first winter staying here in 13 years, it's mostly clear and an early morning 29 degrees F., and likely will snow a little in a couple of days time. It should quickly melt and be gone in a day or two. We've been thinking about Mexico, maybe next year.
I always remember the stories of the Vikings establishing themselves in Greenland, a thousand years ago. It must have been warmer then.
