There was an article about Alberta Canada possibly joining the United States, so I looked into what that Canadian province is like. What struck me wasn't so much that news, but the climate there. It seems that the wind can bring rapid and drastic changes in the weather, particularly in the winter.
There was a report that once upon a time temperature went near zero to 70 degrees Farenheit, in just one hour. The "Chinook" winds can bring rapid changes in temperature several times a year during the winter months.
It is not peculiar to Alberta. Montana lies just to the south, and they seem to have the same phenomenon.
Although I haven't seen those kinds of drastic changes in Texas, it does seem to matter which way the wind blows here, too. If it blows off the Gulf, the weather is humid. However, if it blows off the Mexican deserts, the weather is hot and dry.
When people talk about the weather, and equate unusual weather events to "climate change", it is probably not the explanation. The reason being is that it is the way the wind blows that matters as to temperature, not how much carbon dioxide is in the air.
AGW is bunk.
