Weird, wild weather a new norm

"It's official: According to Environment Canada, there's no such thing as normal weather any more.

"From one end of the country to the other, Canadians have been facing extreme weather, from unusual cloudiness on the West Coast to heavy rain across the Prairies and oppressive heat in Southern Ontario and parts of Quebec.

"Fog has created chaos for the Nova Scotia tourism industry, forcing the airport to close several times this month.

"'We're out of superlatives to talk about this summer,' said David Phillips, senior climatologist for Environment Canada."

Only someone who doesn't live in Nova Scotia would be surprised that the Halifax International Airport is fogged in. It's almost always fogged in!

The problem is that they're fixing the runways at the moment, and so the gadget thingee that guides the planes down in bad weather isn't working, or something like that. It ain't the fog causing the delays!

Fogbound in Halifax - and Lovin' It!
