  1. Maybe it’s due to being on lockdown for so long. But I ordered a simple rain gauge and it’s the most exciting thing. It’s collecting rain as I type.
  2. https://www.kitchenertoday.com/local-news/barries-asparagus-farm-hit-hard-by-cold-snap-2348886 Not surprising, but yet disappointing. Big blow to them.
  3. Yep I just ripped the banter thread a new one over this. I’m so tired of below average temps. As a result - I know I’m going to melt into a paste when it even hits 25C.
  4. I’ll take it another step. This is complete BS how long I’ve waited for a 70 degree day. I think it will end up being around 220 straight days below 70.
  5. Monday and Tuesday next week were supposed to be 71 degrees. Now it’s dropped to highs of 59 and 60. WTF. Weather models never waiver when it sees record cold a month from now. But an actual above average day a week in advance.......nope.
  6. I’m hoping for a direct hit of moisture next week (Thurs-Sat) for southern Ontario. It may not seem like it - but we haven’t had a lot of precipitation when you add it all up. Not a whole lot of ET with cooler temps, but it is dry. I don’t like summers starting off dry.
  7. Parts of North Central PA and upstate NY are so crazy cheap. Sometimes you can get a nice little plot of land too. I’m hoping to move to that area and keep my regional job. Prices on the other side of border are just stupid. 500K is the cheapest house here.
  8. I honestly think Montreal has the most desirable weather in CA. Far enough north and far enough east to catch nor’easter traffic. It can be just as warm as Toronto during summer. When the winds come from a perfect SW direction the winds pick up humidity from Lake Erie, Lake Ontario and the St. Lawerence river.
  9. Piss poor winter. Heaviest single snow storm total was 15cm. So about 6 inches. Have not hit 70F since Oct 7. I see areas with higher latitudes in the NE get 70s. I see Calgary get their damn chinook 70s. Nothing. Now I see another couple of snow systems pass me well to the south. Leaving me with cold windy air with near record wind chills.
  10. I checked the temp anomalies on the GFS for the May 14-15 time period. My heart sank. This relative cold air beginning tomorrow is expected to linger until its finally pushed out by (you guessed it) another North Pole shot. I used to live in Tennessee where March was a genuine Spring month. Now I have to wait until Memorial Day.
  11. Words just can’t do it justice how bad our shoulder seasons have been. April and early May in 2019 sucked. Mid-late October into November sucked. And now this spring has been record cold. There have been two major relative warmth periods this spring. End of March towards towards the east coast, and another more recent one to our west. We (GTA) haven’t cashed in yet. As another poster mentioned. Today was supposed to be our day. But instead it’s nothing but a cloud deck and brief rain spurts.
