Talk:January 14–17, 2022 North American winter storm

Ontario

Someone keeps adding irrelevant and poorly written info in the Ontario section. Like listing certain towns that did not get snow. Or listing every town that did get snow. This is both irrelevant and crowds the article with pointless stats. Also, perhaps an Ontario geography lesson would help some editors. St.Catherines is in Niagara region, Eastern Ontario is a subregion of Southern Ontario, there is no such place as South-Central Ontario, etc. Maybe read the edit summary that explains the edits and bring it to the talk page if you still don't understand. 76.69.7.202 (talk) 05:37, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Editor 76 seems to be a real hothead. Thinks they can overrule edits of 4 or 5 other people. Maybe should get referred for a ruling on their conduct. Seems to never have seen Mapart or other companies' maps that clearly label area from Barrie to Fort Erie as south-central Ontario. Province of Ontario even calls Golden Horseshoe Central West or Central East etc. in some of its ministry divisions. So does CAA. Do any others agree? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.43.250.158 (talk) 00:28, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

I gave up trying to make constructive additions 2 days ago due to 76.

Every single city saw fluctuations in accumulations. Snow does never falls at an even depth across an entire region. Most downtown cores see less accumulation than suburban areas. Listing that one area of the city saw this depth, this area saw this depth, and this area saw this depth, is irrelevant. That is why the largest depths are shown with the wording "accumulations of up to". 76.69.7.202 (talk) 16:24, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

I do no understand why editor 76 finds it appropriate to take references researched and inserted by several other editors and to then distort the facts stated in articles. No article states "many cities' transit systems were unable to operate." That did not happpen - all cities systems were operating at half or even more capacity. It needs to be clarified how much of Highwasy 7 or 401, and where, were closed - they extend across the entire province. As well, no statement that school boards throughout the province were closed, as that did not occur. I researched numerous newspapers to see which school boards closed. Everything west and north of Kitchener were never closed. Barrie and northward and eastward were not closed. Highway 416 closed for 30 minutes for a vehicle to be towed out of a ditch - I specifically inserted a reference stating Highway 417 was closed 8 hours with a fatality. Is not a fatality important? Please stop your poor conduct. Editor 184.146.205.69 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.146.205.69 (talk) 01:18, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

I ask editor 76 to explain why it is fine for the lead of the article to say a tornado caused 3 injuries in the southern US but the main body of the article (where the details are supposed to be) cannot mention a fatality on Highway 417 near Ottawa? Why is the amount of snow in SE Ohio mentioned in the lead but the amount of snow in through larger areas of Southern Ontario cannot be? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.146.205.69 (talk) 01:30, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

You have not asked anyone or even remotely engaged in any sensible dialogue. This is the first time you've used the talk page despite being asked countless times. Your edits are very poorly written and organized. I understand you are from Toronto and are under the false impression that it is unique and special, and want to write about every aspect of it. But you honestly need to read WP:3RR, WP:PROMO, and WP:USELESS. Naming every aspect of a city is not relevant, interesting, or encyclopaedic to anyone. If you have an actual intelligent point to add that adds value to the article, then yes. Before adding something ask yourself, is this interesting to others in any way? Does this add anything of value to the article? Are you just adding this info so that you can talk about your hometown? But re-adding the same nonsense over and over is going to get you reported and banned from editing. Also, sign your posts. 76.69.7.202 (talk) 03:54, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

I posed numerous questions for you above and you have not answered them. As I stated there and in the explaination of changes in the edits, other parts of the article contain info that you keep deleting from the Ontario section. I explained in detail every single re-insertion of information that I made. Your condescending style is amazing. Other people, including at least one auto-registered user, were adding similar information 10 days ago. If I had one or two grammar errors then a collaborative person would fix them or make minor edits, not revert everything back to the exact same text they like 6 or 7 times. I have tried to reach an agreeable middle ground. Editor 184.146.205.69 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.146.205.69 (talk) 12:34, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Creating massive edit summaries after you vandalize an article is not how you engage someone. You have adding pointless drivel to the article and were reverted. You were asked countless times to bring it to the talk page. You are now edit warring. If you want to add any of the reverted info bring it here, not in the article.

• Absolutely nobody cares that the TTC has 1300 buses
• Absolutely nobody cares that the airport saw less accumulation than downtown, and this other area of the same city saw this amount
• Absolutely nobody cares to name every single school board that closed
• Absolutely nobody cares that this highway closed for 6 hours, and that highway for 8. You don't need to name every single one

None of this is remotely interesting or adds anything to the article. You are trying to promote your own city and it's boring and sad. If every editor named every highway, school, neighbourhood, of every city this article would be 50 miles long. 76.69.7.202 (talk) 21:26, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Not sure why User:Elijahandskip just re-added the IP's pointless drivel despite it being reverted. Abold edit was reverted. OIt should be settled on the talk page. User:Elijahandskip also made false ANI accusations and was scolded by admin for it. This user seems to be showing some odd behaviour that an admin might need to look into. I suggest restoring the article until a consensus can be reached on the talk page. 76.69.7.202 (talk) 22:59, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

C Class?

I am not entirely sure; but I think this article may have enough references, and could potentially qualify as a C Class article. Severestorm28 22:06, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Nova Scotia

I will remove the Nova Scotia section and the following writeup from the article:

The remnants of the winter storm dropped small amounts on snow in Southern Nova Scotia, specifically Yarmouth. The Yarmouth Airport loses for two hours due to the storm before reopening. In Halifax, small amounts of snow was reported in the area.

An explanation that the storm did not hit that area is not noteworthy. If anyone objects, please let me know. 76.69.7.202 (talk) 16:32, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
