Spring warmth arrives in Ontario/Quebec
Massive winter storm to take shape in Prairies

Ah spring has sprung. It was 23C in Kemptville yesterday. It always comes as a surprise to me when we finally break free of winter. I never thought the massive piles of snow would ever melt, and they have trickled to but a few in places. With the exception of the Kemptville Mall pile, which looks like it might be around till July. This weekend looks ideal for outdoor activities, sunshine with just passing clouds, and very warm temperatures in the mid twenties. The warm and dry weather will give everybody a chance to clean up from this nearly record breaking winter, and from the receding flood waters in the Rideau basin. The warm weather will continue into next week, but it will become cloudy with showers.

I wish I could say the same for the entire country, but alas it is Canada. After record highs close to 30C last week, the prairies are in for an April shock. A massive late season storm will lift out of the Pacific and into Montana and Saskatchewan on the weekend. After temperatures in the teens today, a strong push of moisture and increasingly cold northerly winds will develop. Rain will change to snow in Alberta then Saskatchewan, and could accumulate in excess of 30cm. Near blizzard conditions are expected by late Sunday and Monday.
