Be my guest. My ideal life would have me buying a condo in Stockholm and one in the Tierra del Fuego and spend winter in both, so I never get more than 8 hours of sunlight a day.

Edmonton and Toronto tied for first place with very similar weatherliness (dibs on the coined word), Vancouver comes next followed by Ottawa and then poor weather-besotted Winnipeg.

Edmonton tops the weather picture and Toronto bumps Winnipeg on the downward trend to come in dead last. Vancouver and Winnipeg tie for third and Ottawa comes in second.

The Canadian Football (er "Soccer") team should ask to borrow skates from the Oilers (better footing).

Edmonton -- those who are happy = skiers, snowboarders, snow-fort builders, etc. Those who are not happy -- Mexican footballers. Toronto comes in first today and Vancouver last. In between in order Winnipeg, Ottawa and Edmonton.

Looks like God doesn't like Mexico -- Edmonton dead last for the first time since this thread began. And to put a fine point on it, Vancouver came in first place (the rain stopped!) Second goes to Ottawa followed by Toronto and Winnipeg (stopped snowing).

A colleague from work just had to be evacuated from his house in Abbotsford because of this. Things are INSANE out there...
And people have the courage to deny climate change --'

it would be interesting to correlate the mudslide and flooding areas with forest fire areas over the last couple of years.
my guess is that in many cases it's not just the amount of rainfall, it's that without the tree canopy and ground cover there is no retention left and the entire rainfall amount immediately becomes unimpeded runoff.

Not sure if there are studies for Canada/North America, but there are studies on de-forestation and mudslides in South America and they corroborate your thoughts.
