BLAME CANADA!

Something that really gets my goat is when the weather people in the US blame Canada for the cold weather. I'm constantly hearing "A Canadian cold front is coming in," as if Canada was to blame. We had nothing to do with it! If we really want to get technical...we could say "It's all ALASKA'S FAULT!". I would just like to set the record straight...Canadians DID NOT invent cold weather (since we've been talking about inventions). And another issue...I'm always asked, "Is it cold in Canada?" I'm not really sure how to respond. Of course it is...but "cold" is relative. It also gets cold in Florida. It also gets HOT in Canada. Here are a few stats for you to ponder.
-Coldest recorded temperature in North America was -63C (-81.4F) in Snag, Yukon (that's a territory of Canada) (recorded Feb 3, 1947). Alaska came close with a -62.2C (-80F) record.
-Highest recorded temperature in Canada was 45 C (113F) in Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan (July 5, 1937).
-January yearly average on Ellesmere Island (northern point in Canada) -28C (-18.4F).
-January yearly average in Windsor, Ontario 0.7C (33.3F).
-July yearly average in the north 6.8C (44.2F).
-July yearly average in the south 27.8C (82.0F).

Oh...is it cold in North Dakota?
-January yearly average in northern North Dakota -16.7C (2.0F).
-July yearly average in northern Northa Dakota 22.8C (73F).
