Today is expected to be fairly mild with temps staying above freezing overnight.
More snow on the way for tomorrow.

Snow Changing To Rain......Again

This morning's weather photo.

It wasn't too bad here yesterday,especially after the sun came out in the afternoon.Temps were once again a few degrees

above freezing but the NW wind made it feel a little cooler.
The overnight temp was slightly below the freezing mark and is holding there this morning.
A little snow will be beginning later this morning and changing to rain as the temp rises this afternoon.Tomorrow promises

to be more Spring-like.

Happy Easter....still cool here but better than last year

This morning's weather photo and last Easter's weather(photo taken on Easter Eve).

Yesterday was a mix of a few flurries,some sun and cool temps that reached just a degree or two above freezing.The
evening temp was down to -6° with a few more scattered flurries.
This morning the sky is mostly clear and it is very calm with the temp at -6°.We should see a day similar to yesterday
except with less,or no,flurries.There's not much change expected in conditions until later in the week.
As the photo above shows,last Easter was quite snowy here.Easter was later last year and we had a major snowstorm that
began the day before,on April 7,and left about 30cms behind.There's more here:

Cool and flurries was the story for yesterday.The temp stayed below freezing for the day and overnight.
There's no change so far this morning and doesn't appear as if there will be any throughout the day.The current cool weather is expected to last into next week.
The weather is still better than last Easter....I will post a photo of Easter 2007 in tomorrow's blog.
