And I won't take offense. While I would like spring to arrive, I still can not tolerate the kind of heat you're getting elsewhere. So I just have to grin and bear it.  :popcorn

I'm watching the massive cloud front moving in from the south. Spring storm is traditional I guess, but 2 days of it just sux.

Nothing here so far, just very grey and much bigger waves, very little wind.

Here on the Lower North Shore of Quebec we are expecting heavy rain tonight and tomorrow - on top of the half foot of snow that fell yesterday. Should be a mess.    :rain

It's 25 degrees in Calgary; a pleasant, sunny day to walk over to the poll to vote, though a trifle too windy. Nice for spring, but it's so dry there have been numerous grassfires and I worry about what summer will be like. But I'll enjoy what we have now.

We had extremely strong rains and very high winds last night, to the extent that it woke me up, and also awoke more than one friend. I live on the top floor of a triplex, so the windows were really rattlling. All sorts of stuff was flying about in the gales, and a port-a-potty installed by some city workers digging up parts of our street fell on its side. Fortunately nobody was inside. They didn't work there at all today.   

Oddly, my hands seem chapped, though I certainly haven't been out without gloves, either yesterday or today.

There is another demonstration for the students tomorrow - a "night demonstration" starting at 8:30 pm and a meeting I'm supposed to attend wants to go, but I'm really too tired to do that, after the last one. It was very inspiring, but that deeply damp penetrating cold - above zero, but the kind of chill one gets in Britain and the Netherlands.
