Here it is April 5th, and the forecast is for snow today and more snow tomorrow morning. Temperatures hovering around 6 degrees (42 F) for the weekly forecast. Montreal, the self appointed San Diego of Canada is 0 right now (32 F) with a low of 5 (22 F). I'm here in Winnipeg, in the extreme geographic south of this fine country, hugging the US border. It's -3 right now (25 F) and with lows all under freezing all week. Vancouver, the self appointed Miami of Canada is enjoying it's usual cool temperatures.
Whatever, I'm used to it. I actually think it's been a fairly smooth transition so far. No totally unexpected cold snaps since March here. It normally snows at some point in May in Sudbury, but I think we're probably more or less in the clear for highs in the + temps from now until May anyways so I don't really care. So glad winter is over.

If you call this spring time you are a sucker.
Wait, how is Montreal ever the "San Diego of Canada"? If anything, it'd be Vancouver, even though it's still pretty cold/wet in Vancouver. Montreal is more like the Boston of Canada.
You are using Winnipeg as some kind of standard for the rest of the country? Here in Toronto it was 18 C on Thursday and 13 C on Friday. Toronto is going to be somewhere between 6-15 Celsius for the upcoming week. Vancouver is going to be 15 Celsius average for the entire week next week. Yes, I agree that overall Canada is a tad bit colder on average than most countries around the world, but it's really not so different than the weather in many northern European countries.
And no, I don't think Winnipeg is that far south. Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Quebec City are all far far more south than Winnipeg. Just to give some perspective, Toronto is south of Portland Oregon, Seattle Washington, and Minneapolis Minnesota. Just by casually looking at the map, Toronto appears at least 600km south of Winnipeg, if not more (if someone could provide the exact distance number).
Vancouver temps are taken at the airport...right on the ocean.
Today in Vancouver people were wearing shorts. Runners on the seawall were wearing just t-shirts, and I even saw on shirtless guy running as well.
The blossoms have been out for weeks, the Rhodo's are just finishing. The restaurant patios were full as well.
A non-stop stream of people biking, walking, and running around the seawall.
Traffic on Georgia Street was backed up because of the amount of people trying to enter the park today.
I didn't say otherwise. Winnipeg is in the extreme south of Canada. Just look at a map.
Is your brain frozen? lol I don't need to look at a map to see how wrong this statement is.

689 kms.
Windsor is 846 kms south of Winnipeg. It would be like me driving to Chattanooga Tennessee. lol

Winnipeg may be in the extreme south of Manitoba. But the extreme south of Canada is in Ontario: namely Point Pelee. Roughly on the same latitude as northern California.
I'm in southern Alberta, north of the 49th. Nobody here believes that we are in "the extreme south of Canada." That's southern Ontario.
