Just so you know, the day you got that snow it was 21 C here. :-*  Rain and 4 C right now, but it looks like Alberta and Western Saskabush sucked most of the cold out. 

It's been funny reading the media coverage though.  An April snowstorm in the Canadian prairies?  Yeah it sucks, but it's hardly unheard of.  We had a foot of snow back in May of 2004.

I just spent 2 hrs. shoveling around the house & snowblowing the garage pad. More snow but it was packed with the wind, anywhere from 37km/h to 56km/h. -5°C right now & when the sun comes out into the plus which is making a bit of a mess.

Getting better as the week goes on tho, going up to 0°C tomorrow then warmer. Boy it's going to be sloppy.

Just turned on the tv and saw that there's a tornado on the ground in the county SW of us.  We're under a tornado warning and are expecting it to come through here in about 20 minutes.  It's what they call a "Carolina Tornado" - there's no lightening, thunder or hail w/it -- just sheets of rain -- they say it's wrapped in rain.  We've no basement or interior rooms -- my little one and I are headed for the cubby under the stairs............

Stay safe

Thanks.  We're all clear - it passed just to the south of us -- still have thunderstorms hanging around for the rest of the day.

Sorry to hear that -- I just spent a long weekend at the beach with a bunch of girlfriends and have a nice little tan - it was in the low-80s and gorgeous. 8)

Global warming my ass.  It's snowing right now.  Oh sure, it's not going to stay, but it's snowing anyway. ::)

Pool opens here in three weeks, weather be damned.  Gotta build a deck between now and then and if I want the missus happy, build a shed too.  Probably might as well get the garden in while I'm at it.  Ah hell, add the patio too.  Oh and soccer season starts in two days.  Whee.

Hot as blazes here. It was 92 on Wednesday, topped out at 100 yesterday, and the forecast is for 97 today and 93 tomorrow. They say it may get back down to normal (75) by Tuesday, thank goodness. But until then, let the suffering continue.

Well, we've been under Severe Thunderstorm Warnings and Tornado Warnings for the last few days.  There have been tornados reported in both the county just North of me as well as in Illinois just yesterday.  I can't tell you the last time I saw this much rain come down in a one week period.  And the forecast is calling for more severe thunderstorms for the rest of the week.  Craziness.

Hot and humid here in north Texas.  Temp has been in the upper 90's and it's only the start of June.  We'll be getting really really hot later.  On top of that, I'm playing ball 3-4 days a week and it seems like we are only getting 6pm games.  Tomorrow though we'll be getting some nasty weather coming through with a chance of hail and severe weather.

Same here.  We've been topping out at just over 100 the past few days, with the humidity, the heat indexes have been around 110-112 and summer hasn't even started yet!  Lower humidity today makes the index stand at only 97 - but it's just now noon :-\
