Saw an Amish fellow at Home Depot buying an air conditioner. Loaded it up on his horse and buggy.

Even the South African in me thinks this is too hot.

Long, hotter summer....looks like it according to Environment Canada's summer weather data. The above-normal temperatures will be with us (and in the rest of the country) throughout the remaining summer months.
Too early to tell, btw, if the upcoming winter will be 'warmer' or colder than usual.

I cant stand this heat. I long for a nice cold winter. Not big on snow. but love the cold crisp air.. so ready for it
Had to dig deep to find this thread. 
Just wanted to mention that New Orleans / southern Louisiana is taking a pounding from Hurricane Isaac today, 7 years to the day after Katrina hit. While it hasn't been nearly as devestating as Katrina, there have been some areas hit hard by storm surge flooding. Hopefully everyone manages to get out okay.

Apparently they opened the dome tonight for the Jays game and shortly after it started pouring, a rare rain delay at Skydome.

Arctic (summer) ice melting faster than anticipated does not come without it's implications...
Arctic ice everywhere is disappearing at a significant rate. Data gathered by satellite and planes flying over the ice, as well as submarines diving under it, indicate that the total volume of Arctic ice has diminished by almost half since 2004.
At the present rate, summer ice will disappear much sooner than previously estimated, scientists say.
the International Panel on Climate Change models don't predict a seasonally ice-free Arctic until sometime between 2050 and 2100. But our observations say this will happen much sooner. We are on a trajectory that will see a seasonally ice-free Arctic within the next decade or two. This will be the first time this has happened on Earth in a very long time," says Barber.
?Our observations show a much more rapid response to the build-up of CO2 [in the atmosphere] than we expected to find. This should be a wake-up call to the public and to policy-makers to increase efforts to address this global problem.?
...the shrinking Arctic ice has several impacts on the planet, both in the Arctic and globally.
Effects of the vanishing sea ice will be very widespread, says Barber.
?Weather in the Arctic can affect the climate in temperate parts of the planet. The Arctic Ocean doesn't ventilate the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans as effectively as it used to, and this leads to continued warming of these two large global oceans ?therefore increasing global temperatures.?
Another major concern, says Barber, is melting glaciers, which means an increase in fresh water that enters the large oceans of the world.
?This causes sea levels to rise and has impacts globally in the form of storm surges," says Barber, who noted a good example of that being how Hurricane Isaac affected New Orleans..
Methane can be released from sub-sea permafrost and this process appears to be accelerating,? says Barber.
"...methane is a much more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2... our CO2-enhanced warming of the Arctic could lead to much more warming globally, as the amount of methane emission to the atmosphere increases.?

Ugh he
Please don't remind me, I moved from Gillam to Winnipeg and thought I'd have a bit longer before snow and my first winter living here, we get snow before Gillam, how ironic is that

Maybe the hockey gods are mad! ;D
