Alberta's warm winter prompts '5th season' name ideas
'Hollywood would love a 'Godzilla El Nino meeting the Pacific Blob.' It sounds like a horror movie.'
With an uncharacteristically warm winter in Alberta, could it be timeto consider naming the"fifth season" we're experiencing?
Alberta boasted the warmest temperature in Canada today around 12:30 p.m.with a balmy13 C in Pincher Creek, according to Environment Canada's senior climatologistDave Phillips.
On Tuesday Calgary surpassed a 90-year-old weather record to set a new high for the day.
- Throw your suggestions for the "fifth season" into the mix by commenting below
CBC'sAlberta at Noonchallenged Phillipsto come up with a name for thisunusual weather season.
"I'm not as creative as your listeners. Something like pineapple winter?" he said.
He then jokedthat"Hollywood would love a 'Godzilla El Nino meeting the Pacific Blob.'It sounds like a horror movie."
"I'm sure there's some kind of contraction that your listeners could suggest out of that," he said, throwing it to the audience to chime in.
While no one tried their hand at that one, several people joined in on the brainstorm:
