190 Days of Below Temperatures...Until...

Well there you have it...190 days of below -0 temperatures until today!!!

Central Canada saw +14 Celsius, that's 57.2 in Fahrenheit. 

Folks in the city pulled off their parkas and put on the Ts and enjoy the outdoor patios downtown....

After one of the coldest Aprils on record, skies are beginning to clear up, 

and the mercury is starting its journey upward.

Puddles get larger, song birds are making there way back, 

Canadian geese are already here...

We welcome spring with agonized but open arms...

Foliage on this lilac tree in River Heights soaks up the warm sunshine Thursday, joining every other living thing in Winnipeg.

Yes, once again our Canadian weather has hit us fully on the side of the head!

 Just when we are all anticipating spring, you know melting of snow, bird singing, flowers peeking up...

 We get another blizzard!

Spring will surely come to Manitoba someday, but it won’t be today.

This is what hit our Provence while we slept!

AND...

 it shows no signs of stopping!!!

Environment Canada is calling for a truly miserable Monday, with snow, blowing snow and winds gusting.

So the parka goes back on!!!
