Yesterday was quite a day here.Temps rose in the morning almost to +9°C and there was quite a bit of rain with some very heavy downpours and the odd burst of thunder and lightning.Most of the rain ended by noon and temps began to drop.By 3PM we were down to +3°C and there were a few flurries in the air.Inland and northern areas of the province received some accumulation from snow squalls and it looked more like mid-January than late March.Temps continued their downward trend and settled near -8°C overnight.

  • Today’s Weather Trivia:

27 March 2003: A homeless man died from cardiac arrest after sleeping outside in only -7°C weather in Edmonton, AB. He was hypothermic when found, with a body temperature of just 22.5°C, well below the normal of 37°C. The irony is that he died on the steps to a drop-in shelter during Inner City Awareness Week.

Aries, the ram, is low in the west at nightfall. It's a faint pattern marked by only a couple of fairly bright stars, Hamal and Sheratan. Look for them above or to the upper right of Venus, the "evening star," which is quite low above the horizon.
