Wonder if this will be the last time I need it for heat inside.
Grass is so lush and green. 53F outside, fire going on inside.
Definitely a fireside day in Edmonton today. Temperature about 1°C most of the day with a blustery easterly at about 20-30 km/hr, off and snow flurries for most of the day. Much warmer in southern Alberta: Lethbridge is on 16°C right now.
Tonight and tomorrow we could get up to 10 cm of fresh snow as a pacific wave pushes through southern Alberta and interacts with Arctic high pressure north of us.

7:1 cement snow. At least theres no leaves on the trees. Or is there? Seems like u been mentioning and posting snow pics a lot this month. No early spring for you guys this yr.
Nice reading a discussion from Canada for a change.

No leaves on trees: spring far behind last year's El Nino-fueled pace.
Canadian discussions/analyses shockingly hard to track down.
Beautiful day today. Hasn't reached over 59 to my knowledge. Sunny and brisk. I wish more days in April were like this. Oh wait, I'm moving to Minneapolis where this is the average

I was watching a PGA tournament in San Antonio on tv today. Looks like it was pleasantly cool and windy across much of Texas. I would be soaking that in that fresh weather before the heat cranks up.
High of 57F in Louisville today. Most of the afternoon was in the low 50s. Surprised how cold it felt with the blustery winds.
53° Max here yesterday. Felt like October more than March I think because of the landscape colors. Grass is so green and thick and blooms are white, pink, red, orange, green. Tiny leaves on Maples now. Still not leafed anywhere.

Good about the no leaves, sucks about the heavy cement snow.
The link still goes to April 22nd discussion.. I found this cool index using part of that link but for all areas of U.S. Do you have the main page where there is the updated discussion link from Canada? I'll probably be looking at it a lot come Fall/Winter.
Current temps this morning... Brrrrr in Canada and North Central U.S.
Current Mid Level temps and Upper Level heights (orange lines). Southern Canada and Northern U.S getting some pacific moisture feeding into cold digging Arctic air. Hence the snow falling in Southern Canada and North Dakota and Minnesota.
850mb just below freezing plus its end of April so the snow ratios are low.
