It is however fairly predicable that folks will comment on unusual (to them) weather behaviour[0]. First thought - "I guess Leo has never experienced a chinook". Go to school when it's -25°C; go home for lunch at +5°C [1].

We barely have 30 or 40 for a place like antartica.
We can detect gross climate, and not any real weather in fossils.
For example, no fossil record would capture a chinook, a common occurance in Alberta.

In 1962, Pincher Creek saw record temperature rise of 41 °C from -19 to 22 °C in just an hour.
One hour!
And of course, we have only been monitoring chinooks with detail for maybe a 150 years.
