Lexi just missed us, there was maybe 1/4 inch of snow on my car this morning. Kinda cold now, about 25F, got to go outside to etch a PC board (this is a DIY forum)....too stinky to do in a closed house.
Next week, Monday - Tuesday for us, probably Wednesday for the east coast.....Mars comes to visit. 3 to 5 inches (best guess) for us, and zero degree or colder temps.

Family Day, Victoria, BC. 10:30AM 25C on our sundeck - 8dg warmer than in the living room- won't last much longer, when the still low lying sun is blocked by neighbours trees.
amazing, two very small patches of snow in my yards, almost like spring is southern ontario in feb, no ice fishing this year on lake simcoe, except for walking out on the bays for perch = nuts.
Message to the rest of Canada:
Went for a nice drive on this holiday Monday and the Auto Climate Control switched the air conditioning on.
Muwahahahahaha!

Yikes.

yesterday was one of those days which we west-coasters love to enjoy and gloat avoer- so don't hate us for that* - we do get our share of wet / gloomy
*all I need to do is look in the mirror to see there are plenty of other good reasons to hate "us" 😉

I have been out shoveling snow for the last two hours.....it's still snowing, but I learned a couple of weeks ago that its easier to dig your way out of 6 inches twice, than 13 inches once. I'm not planning to go anywhere any time soon though.
They are telling us it will stay below freezing until Monday or Tuesday with below zero (F) temps on Saturday. Snow every day except Thursday.

Sorry, I was not here most of today, and the computer was occupied with stuff like Tubelab taxes most of yesterday. Just saw the PM and replied.
It started snowing after I got to work today. They are calling for 3" or so (7.5cm).
It looks like George will catch some as well.

Wherever you may roam......the taxman cometh!

It was -1F when I got up this morning. We still have about 6 inches on the ground from last time with a hard ice crust on it due to yesterday's sunshine. I can walk on it for several steps before crunch happens if I am careful. I used "Buster" to break up the ice on the driveway. Buster is a 30 pound iron bar about 5 feet long with a chiseled end. The name comes from what he does.
The new snow is all around us according to the radar, but not here.....yet! 1 to 3 more inches expected this afternoon. More tomorrow.

Extreme Cold Warning for Southern Ontario
Active for next 15 hours · Environment Canada
This alert has been updated.
A period of very cold wind chills is expected. The coldest air of the season has settled across Southern Ontario for the weekend. Extremely cold wind chill values between about minus 30 and minus 40 occurred last night and this morning, aided by bitterly cold northerly winds. Wind chills will improve only marginally this afternoon under the strengthening mid February sun. However, they will plunge below minus 30 again tonight in most locales, with light northerly winds adding a frigid bite to the air. Some improvement is expected on Valentine's Day afternoon as temperatures and wind chills both moderate somewhat. Considerably milder weather will arrive on Family Day Monday with temperatures approaching normal values for this time of year. Wear appropriate clothing. - Always wear clothing appropriate for the weather. Synthetic and wool fabrics provide better insulation. Some synthetic fabrics are designed to keep perspiration away from your body which keep you dry and further reduce your risk. - Dress in layers with a wind resistant outer layer. You can remove layers if you get too warm (before you start sweating) or add a layer if you get cold. - Wear warm socks, gloves, a hat and scarf in cold weather. Be sure to cover your nose to protect it. - If you get wet, change into dry clothing as soon as possible. You lose heat faster when you're wet. Protect yourself. - On sunny days wear sun glasses, lip balm and sunscreen to protect your skin from UV and keep it moisturized to help prevent windburn. - Wear a face mask and goggles if you are participating in winter activities such as skiing, snowmobiling and skating to protect your face from frostbite and windburn. - Keep moving (especially your hands and feet) to keep your blood flowing and maintain your body heat. - Drink enough fluids, but avoid very cold drinks and consume warm meals regularly. Extreme cold warnings are issued when very cold temperatures or wind chill creates an elevated risk to health such as frost bite and hypothermia. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to storm.ontario@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports to #ONStorm.
