You're welcome, from Canada
Oh yeah? Wait until we redraw the borders and Detroit winds up on your side.

I heard we're suppose to get a polar vortex at some point. Brace for -40's in middle of May.
I'm not even surprised anymore. Climate change has screwed up the seasons so much now. Back when I was a kid I remember when it was actually nice in May. Now it only starts getting nice in June. Get the odd ball teaser nice day and that's it.

Cheap real estate in the south! Level all the drug and gang houses and make a nice vacation resort.

You can moan all you want about climate change, but my father grew up in Minnesota and he told me about a dozen time the worst blizzard he ever saw in his life was the first week of May.
And that was back in the 50's.

Arctic blast set to punish Northeast with cold, May snow - UPI.com
An unusually chilly spring is about to turn even more shocking as cold air, moisture and a visit from the polar vortex team up to trigger way out-of-season conditions for mid-May across portions of the Northeast.

Northeast to see 'several rounds of snow' as Arctic blast pushes in while Southwest faces more record heat
A bitter Arctic blast will be settling into the Northeast in time for Mother's Day weekend with the possibility of snow, just as the Southwest faces record-heat.

Oh I'm sure it happened but it was a freak thing back then. Now it's normal, we get at least one storm in May now. And it's always cold most of the month. Back when I was a kid summer started in May, now it's mostly mid June. My birthday is the 13th and as a kid I always got gifts that were summer related like water guns and stuff, and I'd go outside to play with them. Now days it would be too cold for any of that.

Well yeah, to you. For many Canadians Detroit is a step up. For the rest of the world it's a wasteland. Sort of like most of Canada.

If you been watching the news, lots of meteorologists are predicting a severe snow storm this weekend. I recommend you spend friday getting ready if you live in the north east.
Food. Water. Candles. The usual stuff.

Which meteorologists are those? I live in the northeast and even in the far northern sections where things are expected to be the worst this is being viewed as a non-event that is only unusual because of the date. The areas that are getting snow are only in the highest elevations and they're not expecting much. The vast majority of the area is looking at nothing but light rain and a select few will see some flurries mixing in.

Canada is nicer than the states, it's just the weather can suck sometimes. Still prefer it here though, closer to nature, cleaner air, less people etc.
We could use some Canada owned land that is in the south though, could be a nice vacation destination to get a break of winter.

Started snowing here as I left home for my shift, truck is covered. Suppose to get around 3cm tonight.
People in the civilized world looking for a break of winter might try southern California or Florida, not Detroit. NOBODY wants to go to Detroit for any reason at all. I make fun of Canada (and it deserves a lot of it) but Detroit is a step down even for you hosers. Cleveland and Buffalo both use "At Least we're not in Detroit" as their civic pride slogans.

That's why I joked that we level it and build a resort.
It could be made nice if you got rid of all the people that are currently there and bulldozed what's left of any buildings. Start fresh! There was talks a while back of Canada buying a tropical island though, but I don't now what ever came of that. I don't remember the actual details. That would be the best bet. I guess we do have BC though, it does not really get cold there.
The best thing about tropical islands is that they're not filled with Canadians. If you buy one it kind of defeats the purpose of wanting one in the first place.

It's nothing. Most of the Northeast is forecast for 1" of snowfall, but with the temperatures as high as they are today, none of it will stick.
Food, water, candles? Really? Like 1" of snow is going to grind the Northeast to a halt.
