Cold snap raises question: What's the difference between weather and climate?

The weather continues to be big news along the North Shore and surrounding region. It’s what most people are talking about in the coffee shops and local pubs and restaurants. And every time you step outside, the recent and ongoing cold snap is likely the first thing to enter your mind.
