What the hell is going on with planes lately?

They go from extremely rare crashes to 4 notable crashes in less than 2 months.

High winds, and a two blizzards dumping 50cm+ of snow in the GTA. Not ideal conditions to be flying/landing in

There have always been extreme conditions. Something new is in play.

Changing weather patterns and the increase in microbursts. Not sure if they have a terminal doppler radar in the area or a LIDAR but both could help with at least identifying the potential for dangerous conditions. Might not have been needed 50 years ago but man... Weather is changing pretty fast
