Time to get out the sunscreen
Late spring or early summer?
By SUN MEDIA

Temperatures are expected to remain above average for the next few days with some rain expected tomorrow. (Brian Donogh, Sun Media)
Mother Nature more than made up for a sorry start to April yesterday as Winnipeggers basked in what was expected to be the hottest day of the year so far.

With barely a cloud in the sky, true signs of spring were abound as people pulled their shorts, sandals and tank tops out of storage to take advantage of a daytime high that approached 25 C.

For one family, it was their first taste of good weather in southern Manitoba.

"We expected it to be cooler at this time of year," Linda Waite, whose family moved to Winnipeg two weeks ago from central England, said as she sat on a blanket in the grass at Assiniboine Park. "We were just saying what a beautiful place to be in the middle of the city."

"It's lovely. We're really enjoying it," her husband, Graham, said. "I'm surprised at how warm it is at this time of year."

CATCH SOME RAYS

Everyone seemed to find a way to soak up the sun. Paths and sidewalks were crammed with joggers and cyclists, yards were buzzing with the sound of lawnmowers and sunbathers sprawled wherever they could catch some rays.

It appears our good fortune is going to continue for at least a couple of days. Environment Canada's five-day forecast calls for sunny skies and a high of 18 C today. No rain is expected, which is good news for participants in this morning's Winnipeg Police Service half marathon.

Periods of rain are expected tomorrow, along with a high of 20 C. The mercury will climb to about 18 C on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Just to think a week ago .. Calgary was covered in snow last 8 days ago, during a heavy snowfall. Winnipeg continues to be warmer than Calgary almost everyday.. I am so jealous!!

Yes, but with all those tax cuts, soon Calgary will have the good effects of Global Warming.

BTW, what do you think of Mr. Environment Baird?

Manitoba should be able to recieve some big cash for Hydro expansion .. and the East-West grid will finally be built. All good for Manitoba.

I really prefer this threat to the "whats wrong with .." which is nothing but negetive .. so in the spirit of being positive.

Things we have to look forward to:

1) the new and amazing airport terminal

2) the steller CMHR

3) 100 Main .. not confirmed yet

4) the completion of the Hydro Tower

5) a new Bomber Stadium .. still in the works but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

6) 5 more warm months to sit outside with a cold one... except for those of us in snowy Calgary (not bad today.. may break 20 sometime before July) ... its really incredible that Winnipeg can have up to 6 months of 20 or higher and many uneducated people in Calgary claim Winnipeg is colder.

7) the completion of the Polo Park renovations... my favorite mall.
