Question:

Yes Mary, it’s a gorgeous sunny day here today and yesterday too.  The temps are going to stay up for a few more days too.  I’m just loving it!  I hope it sticks around for awhile too.  I know, we never seem to get a nice Spring anymore.  As you said, it jumps from cold to hot.  I love Spring.  I hope it stays this way for a long time.  :-)  Enjoy your day. Hugs, Di – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hi Diane, I guess you will be sunbathing in your back yard today with this warm weather of last few days and for next few days . Weekend is to be in mid 70’s and sunny – outdoor cafes are busy, golfers are back in the swing and down by the lake at the Beaches, lots of people walking around. Today on my balcony which faces south, it was 84F around noon and could be a couple of degrees warmer where you are. The temp has gone down to 76F on my balcony now that its around 2 pm, and the sun is not shining on the thermometer. Evening and overnight temps are cool, not like hot humid nights in summer when it often doesn’t go below 80F. We don’t seem to get any spring any more. It seems to go from cold to hot overnight. I have been cleaning up my window air conditioner in my living room getting ready for summer. I love air conditioning. When it gets to the 80’s and up, my body doesn’t adapt very well and sometimes I feel faint when I go outside. But for now, the weather in 70’s is fine – if only it would stay that way.

We lived in the north end of Toronto.  If I drove I would’ve gotten lost there too.  :-)  When I lived in the U.S. I lived in CT. We’ve had rain for the past few days off and on. – April showers. No snow, but some areas north of here got snow and yesterday Kalamazoo,Michigan got quite a lot of snow according to videos on TV weather last night. So did Montana and Oregon and upper New York. Its to be 57F in a few days so they say. For April it has certainly been lower than average temps.  It seems to be the same in many northern states. The north end of Toronto covers a lot of territory but if you lived below Steeles. Ave which is the north boundary of the city and if it was slightly north west of Yonge, or off Yonge st. somewhere, I would probably know where it was. Yonge St. is the city’s dividing line. I know almost all areas east of Yonge but only know a few west end areas. Its strange but most people here are either east enders or west enders as if it was two different cities. Many people are born and live in certain areas, and might move away when they start to work, but a lot go back to the areas where they used to live after they marry and have a family. I would think CT would be a nice place to live.Dont you get quite a lot of snow there? Mary

We had some rain too mixed with some hail on Wed.  Today is sunny.  Our temps are supposed to go up on Mon. to 11C and then 14C on Tues.  I can’t wait.  CT is very nice to live in.  Yes, we could get a lot of snow.  One year in the 80’s we had a blizzard the second week in April and then a year or two after that, we got another blizzard in the third week of April.

It is 36F today and cold and below normal temps for this time of year. should be around 52F. (It was 52F in January -LOL). I went for a short walk today and headed towards the store, when suddenly heavy snowflurries started and was like that for 10 mins. or so. I was in the store for approx. 20 mins. and when I came out it was nice and sunny and no sign of snow flurries. There is no snow on roads or sidewalks here. Places like New York state had snow and lower temps than here in the last few days. You must get the same weather as Detroit as you are only across the bridge or tunnel.On a map, you can see that most of Michigan is north of Toronto and many other places in Ontario and Windsor is level with the extreme lower end of Michigan. So after all the predictions about snow, we didn’t get any – just snowflurries off and on since Thursday -so far at least! Its so unpredictable at this time of year. You never know. When you lived in Toronto, what area did you live in? I’m in the East end and get lost if I go to west end. Where did you live in the US? Mary

About a week or so ago as I was driving to my house I finally realized that the mountain was green again.  The redbuds and dogwoods in the woods next to my yard are still blooming together.  I love spring!  Oh, last week we had lots of days in the 80’s!  I’ve been running the A/C quite a few days.

Hi Diane. I thought about you yesterday when watching weather on local TV and said Windsor was 82F yesterday – Pretty good consider we are still in last days of March.

On Sunday I talked to a cousin on the phone who lives in Windsor. He said it was 70F a couple of days before and he’s been playing some golf. Its been around 55-62F here till yesterday so that enough for the golfers to get on golf courses. So its been pretty good,considering winter didn’t begin till mid Jan. this year.
