On days like today I'm wondering what am I still doing hanging around Toronto. It's so damn cold I learned a new word today: cryoseism, or "ice quake".

Having studied chemical engineering, water is always surprising me, and now is startling my neighbours into calling the police.
While I don't believe in anthropogenic global warming--as I've read far too much about astronomy to know that solar output and gravitation pulls from other bodies including Uranus are responsible for our planet's orbit and warmth, I am a supporter of doing whatever we can to heat the planet up more.
Canada is actually one of the only countries that does not gripe about transitioning to a warmer planet; we perhaps have the most to benefit...just don't tell that to anyone from recently flooded Calgary.
The whole Toronto region is hearing loud booms--sometimes like gunfire--as the water in soil and rocks expands into ice from the recent rapid temperature drop.
