Better educated

Let us get better educated people.
Global warming/climate change does not mean less snow! Here in southern Ontario it actually means more evaporation and more snow. Poor Newfoundland!

 Education is not free even if the pupils and students don't have to pay. Tax payers ought to do this willingly, as they support police and fire departments as  well. First rate education requires first rate teachers. Even if some of my friends and relatives think this is a soft job, I feel it it is not, if done correctly/properly
 - as in the good ol' days of the 1950s and '60s. From first rate students - like, eh hem, come first rate students, jobs and earnings that can be taxed. Unfortunately, a very long time after the government set up that educational structure.

And let us not forget, our health service - who is healthy,. kept healthy, works well and is socially a happy contributor to our society. Get that spiral turned around!

Today's weather brings to mind a day 4 years ago

Today had to be seen to be believed - and most of Germany slept through it so here is a replay.

First what happens around zero C:

Can you see Lake Simcoe above Toronto and right/East of the bottom of Georgian Bay?

The picture below was taken between snow storms which had visibility around 500m. And while it was just raining and the visibility was 10K:

The weather network had a photo taken at little Higjh Falls and here is mine:

And the ice below it looked like this:

That was Jan 30, 2012. Doesn't that look a little like this:

taken last July from New Horizons flybe of Pluto?
For comparison - maybe - in my photo the rafts are order 30cm, and on Pluto 30km?

And a last memory:
