-- Posted by shot1o1 at 3:35 pm on Jan. 9, 2007 Hey guys, I live on the west coast of Canada. The wind has really picked up these few days, going up to 60-80km per hour. Im sitting in my house right now and its SO LOUD and i cant even hear the cars on the streets. Its NEVER been like this before. I was wondering if anyone understands why this is happening. (seriously no joke explanations please) -- Posted by laurbot at 3:36 pm on Jan. 9, 2007 Um because it feels like scarring little children. -- Posted by Heart92 at 3:40 pm on Jan. 9, 2007 I'm not sure myself -- Posted by akelly824 at 3:41 pm on Jan. 9, 2007 its because lets see, its winter. and theres probably a massive snow storm on its way. sorry. turn on the weather channel. -- Posted by Philophobia at 3:41 pm on Jan. 9, 2007 we had wind warnings in alberta like 2 days ago, with winds up to 90km an hour. and right now we have a blizzard warning, and by friday they said its going to be around -30C. :( i hate the cold. -- Posted by hooray for rootbeer at 3:45 pm on Jan. 9, 2007 Is this your first year there? -- Posted by Brunette lady at 3:52 pm on Jan. 9, 2007 I can't really explian the weather but I know wind is created by the lack of oxeygen somewere and air is going to wheverever it is.

It is likely just a storm or something of the like... Don´t worry, everything will be fine soon enough. -- Posted by omfg frahd chikn at 3:55 pm on Jan. 9, 2007 Quote: from Philophobia at 5:41 pm on Jan. 9, 2007 we had wind warnings in alberta like 2 days ago, with winds up to 90km an hour. and right now we have a blizzard warning, and by friday they said its going to be around -30C. :( i hate the cold.   -- Posted by shot1o1 at 4:08 pm on Jan. 9, 2007 Quote: from hooray for rootbeer at 3:45 pm on Jan. 9, 2007 Is this your first year there? Its my 6th year here man. Im not saying i dont like wind or anything like that but its because this place has NEVER had wind like this. Could this be because of something like the air flow changing due to global warming or ice cap melting or something like those? -- Posted by shot1o1 at 4:11 pm on Jan. 9, 2007 Oh, and btw this place has never had a storm or blizzard or whatever since EVER -- Posted by ajm51987 at 5:06 pm on Jan. 10, 2007 I'm just on the other side of the border, is it snowing where you are? -- Posted by shot1o1 at 7:32 pm on Jan. 11, 2007 it was hard yesterday, its not anymore -- Posted by rchaneberg at 8:05 pm on Jan. 11, 2007 An El Nino is occurring this year, so it's messing many things up. Here in Indiana we haven't had any freezing weather since late fall. -- Posted by speedy66 at 9:53 pm on Jan. 11, 2007 tight pressure gradient
