A nice break in the #weather with cooler temperatures today. We'd been into the first period this season hot enough to warrant turning on the AC in the evenings before bed Tuesday and Wednesday.
Some intense midweek rain also put an end to the longest #tulips-in-bloom period I can recall, finally knocking the flower petals off. :(
The combo of the squirrels leaving them alone for a change, and stable weather had kept them intact – nice indeed!
Today is #Ottawa's 43rd consecutive day with maximum temperature ≥ 5°C. This is the longest run before May 18 in 19 years, since May 17th, 2005. #YowWx#OttWeather#YOW#ONWx
Don't think it'll accumulate at all, but a good flurry happening now. Tulips are up, trees are leafing out and the grass is green, but a little hint of winter holds on.
Good job folks. Whoever decided that there was no need to cancel school buses today deserves a raise. I hope they have a long career renown for such wisdom. #ottweather#ottawa
Just checking the outlook for Wednesday/Thurs now and I see that system is forecast at about 46cm now!
Lots of at-or-above zero temps though, so maybe it'll melt as it goes along? Depends on the rate tho, and I suspect it'll be pretty intensive if we get that much over that short a period.
