Talk:Weather of 2009
WP:BIAS
i made an edit removing (at least some of) the reflection of the English wikipedia systemic bias in the first sentence and the headings. To people previously unaware of this, please do not be offended. Systemic bias does not imply that any individual editor is deliberately biased. See WP:BIAS for details. Concretely:
- most of the section headings referred to the country/region, except those for the USA (and in one case, PRChina) - the unintended bias was that unlabelled regions "obviously" refer to the USA or North America;
- the lead paragraph referred to worldwide rather than northern hemisphere winter storms, but i don't see any listing of Argentinian, Chilean, Australian, South African, etc. storms in late-winter-2009, i.e. July/August 2009. Moreover, it would be unreasonable to split southern hemisphere winter storms into: late-winter-2009 plus early-winter-2010, late-winter-2010 plus early-winter-2011, etc. This is why i added "northern hemisphere" to the definition.

December 30-January 3
Is this the same system that went on to affect Atlantic Canada? If so it's probably notable enough to deserve it's own article as it killed three people, and caused major damage in the region. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2010/01/04/storm-maritimes.html For more info. --156.34.66.156 (talk) 20:37, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
August?
Why is an August rainstorm in California in this article? I'm removing it to here:
- ===August===
- ====August 21-28====
- A stream of moisture that emerged from the Gulf of California brought rain to Southern California. The result of the rain was some areas was a flash flood warning being issued for Central and Eastern San Diego County. Later on, the system moved north and started to move towards the east coast on Sunday, August the 23rd. The remaining thunderstorms lingered around in Central and Eastern San Diego County until Friday, August the 28th before finally moving towards the east coast.

october-november storms?
What bearing do these fall storms have that i assume brought no snow to the country. Mind you i believe the article is focused on storms from dec2009-feb2010, more importantly, the weather conditions currently affecting most of the globe. And there should be more than just a timeline of events in an article such as this, we already have three seperate articles for each region affected with sufficent timeline, i think its safe to say (though yet to be proven for i have not researched any reports) that the weather in north america, europe, and asia are somewhat related. Also the title winter storms should somehow specify the northern hemisphere. I live in the northern hemisphere and i also assume that people in the southern hemisphere do not refer to the time we call winter as winter, as the season is more appropriately summer.
