Awesome Weekend

With just one week left in the winter of 2008/2009, this weekend is looking spectacular. It will not be as warm as first expected, but close to normal nonetheless. Normal for this time of year is around 2C. With those temperatures, and the warm March sunshine it should be ideal for any type of outdoor activity.

I always love how at this time of year spring comes first to the sunny side of the street. At my parents place in Lasalle, QC., their front yard gets the sun all day and has no snow left, just brown grass. The back yard - in the shade - has nearly 2 feet of snow in it. Can you say micro climate!

Be safe and enjoy the mild weekend. Travel in all areas of eastern Ontario, western Quebec and New England/New York should be great. Further south for spring breakers there could be some weather in the form of rain and freezing rain across the Tennessee Valley and the middle Atlantic region. Flying, no problem, driving you may encounter some icy roads midway through your trip to Florida or other points south.
