Road to Nowhere

Global climate change update. Balmy winter stings natives in Canada. Seems certain communities in northern Canada depend on seasonal roads that are built on frozen lakes and bogs each winter. The road is usually open Janurary through March. This year it has been too warm and they may not be able to build the road at all or will have to limit traffic because of thin ice. Not a problem you usually think of when you are wearing shorts in the winter...warm winter weather is just a fashion problem. For these folks it's a bit more serious.
