It rained for about a week straight here in Los Angeles. Then a few weeks later it rained for a couple of more days.

For LA, that is extremely weird weather. Soo much rain.

Hmm I had wierd weather about 2 weeks ago...
It was really foggy one day, you could even see the little water particles floating in the air. The day after that was freezing cold. Next day really hot... And on the last day it was raining like hell.

I live in England. I'm used to weird weather. Haha. Worst was when I was younger, we had rain, snow, hail, sleet, sunshine, boiling heat and freezing cold all on the way to the swimming baths.

I also have a photo of it snowing on Christmas Day with the tree blossoming merrily in the front garden.

I had that once! When I was in P7 we had all of that on the walk home from school! But Scotland has to be the worst for weird weather. I mean, it's boiling in november sometimes but it's stone cold in the middle of July!

I didn't know whether it was fun or not as we were also walking. :P

Best bad weather ever was when I was in Year 7. We used to have to cross over a bridge over a dual-carriageway to get to lessons as our school had two buildings. It was freezing cold, really windy and raining and hailing really hard. My friend and I were the only two people brave enough to cross the bridge at that time. Halfway across, it was so windy we couldn't even walk two steps forward so we had to walk backwards so the wind wasn't in our faces. We didn't know whether to laugh or cry so we did both. At once. It was really extreme but fun too. We've never forgot it.

I saw a purple cloud in the sky once. Yes. Purple. It was kind of like an electrical colour. Needless to say, that cloud turned out to be the bringer of one heck of a thunderstorm. The whole sky was like a purplish colour and the air was so heavy.

Another time we had a massive thunderstorm, there were thick dark clouds in the sky and when I looked outside there was this yellow tinge everywhere. It wasn't just my eyes either, everyone was wondering why it had gone such a funny colour before the storm hit.

Also, it was on the news about four years ago that in mid-August in northern England, they had about 10 inches of snow. Yes. A lot of snow. Only it wasn't snow but hail. There was so much of the stuff that it just looked like snow. And there were also a couple of tornadoes.

Ahh this reminds me of a great, great great great funny day that happened early Jan (which is summer here in Aus. w00t).

Now, in Australia, summer usually means temperatures of excess 32 degrees celsius (Dunno about farenheight. Too confusing). Well, we went camping and had encountered the strangest weather. Snow! In the middle of summer! Wheeeeeee for ungodly weather patterns :P Okay, so it only snowed for about 20 minutes, but it still snowed. It was colder that day in the mountains (where we were) than it was in Poland at that exact same time. Just to let you all know, the nights had minus temperatures. We woke up with ice on the tents.

And there I was, worrying about which swimmers to pack :roll:

But you live in Canada. It's meant to be cold.

I'm just kidding, just saying one of the biggest stereotypes known.

Kidding or not, thats incredibly offensive.
Alberta has some of the biggest temperature differences in the world, this winter it's been down to -40 and it'll be up to +30 this summer. Thats a seventy degress temp difference, not including wind chill. And I know Sask is just about the same way.

After you hit June in Canada it's very rare to get snowstorms. We'll put it this way, it's happened once in twenty years of my life, soon to be 21. So hopefully that puts things in perspective.

Right then, it's still rather offensive to even bother to mention it.

Let's take a look at some temperatures(just for the fun of it, eh?).

http://theweathernetwork.com/weather/ci ... ON0080.htm

This is Brampton, Ontario (Ontario is a Province(...a part of Canada)). Notice the temperature bar at the top left hand side of the page(below the banner where you can insert your cities name).

These temperatures may seem cold, but thats because we run off something called Celcius (another way to tell temperature). Currently, it's 17°C outside (which is about 62.6F). There is no visual supernatural force making it cold, in fact, it's rather nice. Is it meant to be cold? I don't think so, but then again, who decides those kinda things, huh? This weather is good for birds and other animals (many hares can currently be seen, in fact, I've got some pictures that I will be uploading a bit later)

Also notice that it's not snowing, it will not be for awhile. Aswell, the temperature is nowwhere near the freezing mark(note: in celcius, freezing is 0°C).

If it were to snow (which is a possibility(Good to also note that Canada is HUGE! it may snow where Inrun is, but it wont here). The snow would not actually collect on the ground, this is because the ground is warm and will cause the snow to melt before any accumulation will or can occur.

come now, I'm not gonna make any stereotypical remarks, "jokingly" or otherwise, so let's not, until we know the whole picture! Which you do now! So yay! :)

Excuse me? How on earth could that be offensive? It was a joke. If anything, I was taking the fun out of silly stereotypes like that, not Canada.
