Re: Canadians, please close the door.

...I'll bet its coming down from the great lakes area (as usual). Thats the snow and cold belt.
Out here on Vancouver Island (just northwest of Seattle) we haven't seen snow in nearly two months. Even then it was unseasonal for us to get much.
Today the sun is out, the grass needs cutting and supposed to be in the low-mid 50's today (around 10-12 Deg. C). Spring is now underway for us...but it is never soon enough for me.
Regardless, I'll put in a word with some of my buddies back in Ontario to turn down the A/C.:D
BP :cool:

That's not true BP!

My sister who lives in Nanaimo had to take her daughter to work one day last week as her school was closed due to snow!

Mike, you're almost right on with that...BUT, that swath of snow/cold went through Nanaimo (& Duncan) and through Vancouver, particularly Langley.
Believe it or not, we didn't get an iota of it.:)
What is sort of funny is I have a buddy that works in Duncan/Nanaimo area and another over in Langley. We were all in touch last week on that snow day....and they were both getting hit...and I was getting away with nothing but some cooler air. :D:cool:
Either way, its been an odd year for weather but what the he__ spring is on the way.
As well, I guess I shouldn't speak for all of the Island (just the south end I suppose)....because further up they do get hit more often with the white wonder for sure. My sister live in the Comox valley and I think they got it as well.
BP:cool:

Re: Canadians, please close the door.

Since when is 30F and a dusting of snow "Canadian" air?

mphy98, that was crazy today. I have never expirienced lake effect snow that way before. Usually we get some here when that happens since I am only 10 miles from the lake. It was SUNNY all day. Not a cloud in the sky, and yet 15 miles SE they get 16" of snow. CRAZY.

Ohhhhhh, SUUURRREEE! Blame us! Excuse me, but cold air isn't brought by a "Michigan Clipper". It's brought by an "Alberta Clipper"... :D

I wouldn't mind the chance to thaw out myself, now that you mention it...

Re: Canadians, please close the door.

Forecast here for this weekend....warm and sunny with highs in the mid to upper 70's. Great weather, with one problem.

I can't go fish. The river is at 30.54 feet, flood stage is 35 feet. Normal for the river is 18 feet. The ramp is under water and the current is running way faster than could ever be considered safe. I guess we will stay home and clean the boat up this weekend.

Sorry to all of you still iced in I'll get my fan out and point it north. :D
