30 More Days.

I don't think anybody living here in Southern Ontario will argue... it has been one heck of a Winter! Really we've been going non-stop since our first snowfall in late November.
Since then we've seen close to 200 cm's of snow, Freezing rain, soaking rains, record breaking warmth, and extreme fog all in the course of 12 weeks. Oh Canada!
Pretty much every week in December, January and into February, I've been tracking 1 or 2 storms getting ready to move into the Great Lakes with some sort of nasty precip... that is until this week.
The weather map is strangely quiet right now.

There's some lake effect flurries to deal with over the next couple days... and perhaps a potential 5-10 cm shot coming late this week... but that's about it.
However, this mini storm break has also given me the chance to realize something else. Something spectacular!

Only 30 more days until March 20th, the arrival of spring!

That's right the count down is on...
30 more days to Spring.
95 days until the May 24th Long weekend if you really want to look ahead.

However with that said, 30 days is still a month... and we've all seen snow in late March and into early April. In fact, as I look into my little crystal ball... it looks like Winter will indeed be holding on for dear life. There's NOT one day over the next 15 days, which looks like the temperature could rise above 5 degrees!
And although there are no storms in the forecast for this week... what's that for next Tuesday or Wednesday?

Yes, a potential Big Time Snow Storm for Next Tuesday the 26th-Wednesday the 27th.
This storm definetly isn't a guarantee, as the models have been flip flopping a bit on the track. However, I am watching this storm very closely... and as always... I'll keep you up to date.

30 DAYS!

Ryan.
