Replying to @yegwxnerdery
So do we get more freeze/thaw cycles that we used to? Jan&Feb average 1 more per week than the historical average, although the 2000s were the same. And the rest of the year has lost freeze/thaw cycles. /end Lots more detail in the blog: edmontonweathernerdery.blogs…

Edmontonians just went through the city’s coldest February in 40 years. This year’s average February temperature was close to nine degrees colder than the annual average, leading to the coldest February since 1979. #yeg #yegwx edmontonjournal.com/news/loc…
