1. I would HOPE it's way too early for this to be the start of a trend.

Last year did a bit of this also, from the looks of it.

Climate change blamed for warm Nunavut weather

Climate change is contributing to unusually warm weather in Nunavut and Nunavik, according to a senior climatologist with Environment Canada.

"I often say you don't see climate change when you look out the window. The exception is Nunavut," said David Phillips.

12 degrees warmer than usual in many places, Phillips said, resulting in fall-like weather in many places in the region on Tuesday, the first official day of winter.

Temperatures should be between –19 and –28 C over southern Baffin Island, Phillips said. But on Frobisher Bay, some hunters are still travelling by boat because the bay has open water at a time when they're usually crossing it on snowmobiles.
