WINTER

         Our winter weather has been fairly standard this year although many people would disagree with me. But that's typical of winter weather discussions.

        We've had some long spells of very cold weather. Lows below minus 30 C  for two or three weeks without a break. Then we had two and a half weeks of record breaking mild weather.

       On Thur. Feb.26 it was plus ten. In some places the roads were becoming slushy. By midnight it was minus 10. 

     So what I'm trying to say is that winter weather is variable with longer spells of cold and warm. In March the weather changes but the changes are quicker so the times of cold and warm are quicker.

     So I'm about to look at the length of days. We are starting to notice warming from the sun,

    I can get hopeful about spring but it's not here yet.
