The week after is all kinds of awful however. Back into the depths of winter, mid-March.

March is always a roller coaster of Spring VS Winter. Doesn't surprise me. I think we will still have a few warm intrusions. But yes, the cold does make a comeback.

I think we should treat January-February in the winter like July-August in the summer. Definitely winter, or definitely summer. Doesn't matter if it's February 27 or August 29 - expect it to be cold or hot. A +10 daytime high (aka: Toronto's year-round average temperature) in late February is like a +10 overnight low in late August. A weird outlier, and it'll be back to seasonal soon.

March is like September. You should expect the beginning of March to be full on winter, in the same way that you go up to the cottage and swim in the lake at night on Labour Day. But things start to break in the middle of the month. It's not going to be hot, but it's not deep winter anymore, either. Those occasional +20 March days are equivalent to a first freeze happening in mid-late September. Not ordinary, but not extraordinary.

I think this is perhaps the best time of year to have above-average weather and the worst time to go below average. The sun is stronger and the days are a decent length.

Around here it's rare to get significant cold temperatures at this point but you can still have winter-like week-long stretches of dreary overcast weather, or very spring-like clear skies with double-digit temperatures.

6C and mainly sunny. Wow a break from the historical winter.











Such disgusting/dirty snowbanks even Tancredi would not be impressed.




Low of -4C (wind chill of -8) this morning and cloud cover. Quickly cleared.

The warmspot was Port Alberni, BC at 13.8C.

Warmest low was Sisters Island, BC at 8.1C.

Love those Montreal pictures, thanks Nicko999 I'm looking forward to watching the breaking of the ice, hoping many people will post

A nice spring-like day. After some early morning light rain the rest of the day was calm and dry with a mix of sun and cloud.

Wednesday's high at Vancouver Harbour was 11 C, the low was 8 C.

Last full day in Lisbon. It's chilly, but that's fine. Lessen the shock of returning to Canada then specifically Newfoundland tomorrow. Me Mudder is spending the day cooking to load up my fridge before I get home. Spoiled but not rotten, b'y!

-11C and partly cloudy in Moncton at 11 AM.

Warm-up coming. -3C tomorrow then the next four days will be +&C, +6C, +9C and +8C.

Spring is now inevitable. I booked appointments for both my cars for their tire change yesterday (in one month's time).

Yesterday was very nice, albeit a bit smoggy. Air quality wasn't great. High of 7 and sunny. Felt way warmer than 7, assumingly because I'm so acclimatized to the cold. Same temp in October would have felt freezing.

Today is closer to seasonal, high of 3 and dropping later in the afternoon. Some freezing rain possible tonight. Nicest day of this stretch looks to be Monday, sunny with a high of 13. Arctic air makes it's return around next Wednesday, although the long term models don't seem to think it will stick around too long...we shall see. We've been spoiled with mild March's the last few years, I think this year it will end up around seasonal.

Currently sitting a kiosk (little beer/coffee/pastry stand with outdoor seating) - they're all over Lisbon anywhere remotely suitable. It started raining.

The sheer mayhem and panic. I've never seen the like. Teenage girls screaming, everyone running, grown men hunched over like they're facing hurricane winds, people rooting in their bags for umbrellas like they're looking for an EpiPen.

I messaged my buddy to say wow. He shared a hilarious story: came up out of the metro, and it had started to rain. There were six or seven people crying and screaming, and one woman sitting on the stairs absolutely wailing. He thought even for Lisbon that's a bit much. Turns out she broke her ankle. Every surface here is shiny smooth when dry so ice when wet.

Interesting graphic from the local CBC meteorologist Ryan Snoddin:



With the upcoming thaw this week, the Maritime snowpack should be wiped out except for northern NB and eastern NS.

Looks like we are in for the typical March weather rollercoaster, should hit a high of 15 this week with a low of -15 next week.
