Will start to cool off again by next Monday.
Glim, that's warm! Glad you'll enjoy some relief in a couple of days. As always, it is so odd to hear those high temperatures when we're sitting at below -10C/14F with the wind chill. And flurries.

No, not towards the east coast, anyway, but most certainly on the west (the amazing Canadian Rockies).

Why does that not surprise me?
Since at this stage I don't plant seeds indoors, I won't be puttering around in the earth for another couple of months. Seems so long, but it will come quickly enough, I suppose.

Ahhh, how I love doing this when it's spring-fresh outside. Such a wonderful scent wafts in. I wonder when we will be able to follow suit (for a prolonged period of time) for the first time this spring ...

Yes, last March was far too warm for the northlands, anyway. This March is much more sensible and proper.
While we are losing much of our snow *weeps*, it has been cold with flurries again this morning. A storm system is moving our way for Tuesday, and it all depends which way the temperature shifts whether we will get rain or snow. *really hopes for the latter*
And spring arrives on Wednesday (Nellie of Narnia's birthday, btw ) at 7:02 a.m. EDT.
I looked at the Almanac for our area and it appears summer is going to be cooler and rainier than most. I am so not complaining! And it appears that in April we may be getting some snow flurries off and on. Cool! (Literally, lol.)
Sorry you haven't been able to see the comet because of the overcast skies, DiGs.
