Weekend Update

Life, work and computers have conspired against me blogging more this week then I would have liked to. Thankfully it has been a relatively quiet weather week. It is very mild this morning in Montreal, all the way up to 10C. I like to call it the hair dryer affect. With the warm southwest winds, the snow is literally evaporating this morning. The 10C is still shy of the record high of 14C set just last year. We have reached our maximum temperature for the day as cooler air will now filter into the region. Winds are strong this morning along and in advance of a cold front. Montreal has recorded gusts to 60km/h. The winds will be gusty all day, but the really strong gusts should end by noon. Temperatures will fall slowly all day down to -5C tonight. The weekend looks sunny and dry with highs of 0C on Saturday and plus 5C on Sunday for the annual Montreal St. Patrick's Day Parade.
