"Edmonton gets 7 hours, 27 minutes and 42 seconds of daylight today. That's about about 9.5 hours less daylight than the summer solstice, which has 17 hours, two minutes and 42 seconds of daylight."

I knew there was a big difference, but that is a lot of hours of daylight I'm missing right about now. Even daylight till about 7 is tolerable. But this 4 PM darkness sucks.

Wasn't there a report a couple months ago that said this was going to be a colder winter than normal with more snow than normal? Even if this all goes to shit in February, it's beyond wrong.

We are probably going to get 1886 weather with a 1960 wind for the rest of the winter

What a beautiful winter we’ve had. It’s made having to exercise outside bearable.

GFS model still shows little to no precip until the 17th, with light snow. Lots of lows crashing into the west coast with no Arctic highs looming. Daytime temps near or above zero up to the 16th (model didn't go further).

those west coast lows are clipping through the prairies/american midwest which has made a couple runs through there a bit of an adventure. I was in the Appalachians, along the New York/Pennsylvania state line, a couple days after New Years. It collided with a system that moved up the east coast from the Gulf. You serious could've played hockey on the I 81 from all the ice built up on the highway

If this is what global warming is then sign me up (just kidding don't get mad)
But yes this has been one of the best winters i can remember which makes the shitty circumstances we live in nowadays a tad better.

That should help keep people indoors and self isolating.
