Weekend Update

Above: From the Montreal Gazette, the city will spend over 60 million to clean up the debris left behind by the winter. The annual spring ritual will involve nearly 700 employees. The same holds true for the off island suburbs.

TGIF, what a week it has been folks, sorry for the lack of updates, it has been a little hectic. Spring is upon us as the weather picture quiets across the country. As a matter of fact I could only find one weather advisory from coast to coast to coast and that is for the Town of Golden BC where a dust advisory for poor air quality is in effect - that's it folks.

Our weather will be dominated by high pressure today with bright sunshine and warming temperatures. it was a chilly morning with temperatures in the -2 to -4C range but it should warm nicely to 11C by afternoon. The weekend will start fair but an advancing warm front will bring us rain on Sunday followed by the cold front late Monday. Temperatures will be around 12C for the weekend. In between fronts, look for very warm air to surge northward on Monday, with temperatures approaching 20C across Ontario, Quebec and New England. It may even be a little humid on Monday and we can't rule out a thunderstorm along the cold front.

The last patch of snow will melt off my front lawn this morning, it was covered from December 7 to April 8, a very long and chilly winter. Lets hope there are no April surprises in in store for us.
