    Crazy Weather

    OK...so it was 89F on Monday and my children ran around in the backyard with bathing suits on...squirting themselves with the hose.

    Today, it was a balmy 35F outside and we have had freezing rain and sleet all day...it is expected to continue into the night and tomorrow

    The weather is just AWFUL...I'm assuming we'll have no school tomorrow? (though you never know)

    The worst part of it all is that we let the toads go Monday anticipating Spring...and it's all the kids and I can talk about...if they're going to be ok

    Anyone else having crazy weather?

    yup! Our weather is insane! We hit 84F here this afternoon. The temperature then dropped to 50F within ONE HOUR. The temp is supposed to get down to 30F in a few more hours. So, that is a temperature swing of 46 degrees within twelve hours!!!! INSANE? yes. (We're also supposed to get a snow/sleet mix tomorrow evening and we had a couple of inches of snow on the ground just a few days ago).

      Yes! We were wearing shorts and it was in the 80's just a few days ago and now it is only 46 outside. I'm so bummed because my husband promised me a backyard this weekend (for the last few years it is all dirt and weeds!)--he is at a conference next weekend and on the unit next month so now I'll have to wait until June!

            Gee, you guys! It's been gorgeous, sunny, and spring-like warm everyday here in Canada (Western Alberta). Today was 15 Celsius (we're metric up here). Most days recently have been between 12C and 18C, with sun. Today I saw my first spring butterfly! Strange that Canada, the frozen North is being gentle... It is NOT always like that.

              Yeah, I know I'm a complete weather-wimp, Janet! :P I am just not used to five or six month long winters - heck, in North Texas I think winter is technically only four weeks long! I'm a wimp, yes indeed.

                Weather varies widely in Canada, contrary to what many South of the border might imagine. In Vancouver, tulips are up by February, with little or no snowfall in the winter (November to January). But being only an hour or two north of Seattle, that is not surprising. The prairies have hot, sunny, dryer summers, with colder, sunny, snowy, sparkling winters. But then we do get above freezing melts in the winter to give you a life and a break (called "chinooks"). Ontario would be similar to Chicago, with the maritimes (East coast) being more like Boston and New York.

                Most Americans don't realize that 90% of Canadians live within 60 miles of the Canada-US border! So what is actually "Canadian weather", farther North, is experienced by only 10% of the population.

                When we moved up here from the US, I was ten years old. I asked my mother if I'd be able to speak English, and I asked if we had to live in an igloo. Just shows what they didn't teach us in grade school about our Northern neighbors!

                Janet, still American up here but with a Canadian heart.
