Oops, I Spoke Too Soon

Normally I wouldn’t dedicate a whole post to some snow falling during the month of April here in Toronto, because we usually do get a bit during the first half of the month. I wouldn’t even post about it based on the fact that the amount that fell was significant for this late into the year. No, the reason you get to hear about the weather today is that last night the temperatures fell to -6. That is quite remarkable and the coldest it has been on this date since 1980. A first in 34 years merits a post of its own.

These shots were taken yesterday morning which means I was jumping the gun when rejoicing about the arrival of spring last week (here). Good thing we didn’t put away the woolly scarves, hats and gloves.

Thank you for dropping by. I hope it’s a little warmer where you are.
