Calgary: Snowed last night but now clear and sunny. I think we may be in for an early leaf out as well.......but, I say that every year!

Maybe this will finally be the early spring we have been waiting for?

It snowed a bit again today, but no accumulation.

We live in a country where "Central Canada" is used to describe a region clearly located in the eastern 1/3 of the country. I don't think maps have anything to do with it a lot of the time.

Central Canada is a funny thing... Each province seems to have a different understanding of where Central Canada is.

That said - its hard to place Edmonton in the northern half of Alberta, where as the dividing line for north/south is still several 100km's north of Edmonton.

By map, it's about 20km east of Winnipeg. By population/historical reasons, it's considered to be around Toronto.

No leaves on the trees yet here, but the grass is turning green and some flowers are starting pop up. Supposed to be 17 tomorrow, followed by a couple days of rain and snow, I expect this should get the grass the rest of the way green, and might see some leaves start to bud, though that typically happens around the end of April / beginning of May.

Hoping here this upcoming rain is good and that we can head back to "reasonable" warmth to get the land ready for seeding.

Praying here the *unseasonable* warmth (that we had almost all last fall, most of the winter, and most of this spring) doesn't continue into summer...I don't want a summer that never was either though.

Please Mother Nature just give the prairie provinces a summer in the mid 70's to the mid 80's with a nice rain every so often. :rolleyes:

Past few days have been seasonable here (ie below 0C nights/mornings up to ~8C daytime)

I wouldn't put too much stock into the long range predictions, they rarely hold true. They called for the winter of discontent, while it ended up being one of the nicest in years across the country.

PrairieGirl

Apr 11, 2012, 10:46 PM

True however the positioning of the jet stream was really unprecedented this past winter thus putting all weather forecasting models in a tailspin. I noticed that our mets/climatologists said back in November that while the models were showing one forecast they all showed something different (none matched). It took the mets forever to find one that *might* show just 3 days in advance correctly.

Models can certainly be wrong but this past winter was truly uncharted territory.

Aaaaaaaaaaand the upper elevations of Calgary are seeing the heaviest snow of the season so far. It was just raining with some wet snow downtown, but by the time I got home it was pure white. And it's been going for several hours since. Probably 6-8" accumulated in my yard at this point with no signs of letting up.

I love these spring snow dumps, they separate the men from the boys. :P

I love spring in BC! April has actually been normal so far, a nice change from February and march (and last years spring).

Today was very typical, rain this morning, then a sunny afternoon, temps around 12 to 14, then some evening thundershowers.

But the good news is last weekends sunshine and warmth has caused the trees to explode with green, especially the cottonwoods, willows and alders.

freeweed

Apr 13, 2012, 4:24 AM

Official measurement on my driveway once it tapered off: 18cm actually accumulated. Some were saying 15-25 could land, so that seems about right. And this is the heavy, wet shit that we rarely get in Calgary - my little dry snow snowblower struggled mightily, but held up.

12C and a mix of sun and clouds! Very dry with low dewpoint (below 0C) though.

That snowstorm last night was kind of crazy! it was absolutely pouring rain with a bit of snow mixed in throughout the day, then at around 8 it turned into a blizzard. Was very surprised to see green grass this morning, I figured everything would be completely white.

It still is at higher elevations. The freeze line around 4pm last night was about 30m lower than my house. It was hilarious driving up Stoney coming back home - went from just rain, to a little snow, to pure white in about 10 seconds. I hear areas of Edgemont got as much as 25cm, no way will that all melt today.

The weather network is claiming that its 2C with flurries right now in St. John's. I don't know where they get their info, but it is a gorgeous day today. No flurries to speak of, and probably closer to 7C or 8C. I can only seeing it getting hotter this afternoon. Definitely not a day I want to be studying for my last batch of finals. :(

The 15 degree weather from a few days ago was not well received by me. There's nothing I hate more than staring out the window at beautiful sunshine while studying, and knowing very well the day I finish exams It'll probably snow.

Maybe you should have continued until Southern Ontario/Southern Quebec and you wouldn't be so happy.:P

Dandelions are now in full bloom in some places here... most fruit trees are also blooming (the earliest started in mid-March during the heatwave). A lot of trees have mini-leaves or a blooming as well.

Apr 16, 2012, 12:02 AM

:previous:The last two weeks have been perfect spring weather IMO, a good mix os sun and cloud (only about 2 days have been true rain), no freezing temps (Vancouver's last frost is usually in March, so that is normal) and high temps between 13 and 18 (although it was up to 22 inland last week).

So I love it. And the lush green is what really seals the deal for me. The majority of trees here a far beyond simply budding or flowers. The cottonwood, alder and birch forests are lush with greenery now.

I am sure the largest heat wave in March history, coupled with one of the warmest winters ever on record has helped the east this year in being ahead of schedule.

But again, I love my West Coast Cherry Blossoms ;) Sakura festival last weekend was great.

As the severe-weather system moves in from the US, people from Windsor all the way to Montreal and as far north as Nickel Belt could see up to 35 mm of rain by Tuesday morning.

There's also a risk of thunderstorms across a large part of Ontario as far north as Sudbury. The Ottawa and Montreal areas could see the most severe weather, as temperatures there will flirt with 30°C.

This is indeed ahead of schedule. Leaves are coming out on trees 2 weeks earlier than usual. Some leaves started to come out during that March heatwave, but now everything is greener every day. I don't think we are more than one week behind the BC coast right now, which is exceptional. (if it was not of that heatwave in March and the cold spring you had out there, we would probably be one month behind)

Calgary is still cloudy, cold, and snowing, in case anyone cares. :haha:

Forecast is calling for low 20s in a few days though.

It's now cooler in Quebec City than it was for the past few days. Sunny, 12c.

Weather has been downright crappy in southern Manitoba the past couple of weeks, after a great last two weeks of March with temps. in the high teens and twenties we now have a cold westerly flow from Alberta with cloud, rain and cool weather.

Winnipeg is so cold in the winter. It sure warms up fast when it does though.

We went down briefly to -1C this morning...:help::uhh:

It only warmed to 10C with sunshine so it wasn't that bad but it's cold for this time of the year.

The Canadian warmspot was St John's, Newfoundland at 20.1C.

Beautiful, sunny (19c) day here in Quebec City. I'd better fully enjoy this day because it's supposedly gonna be cold and rainy all weekend long... :shrug:

It was pretty solid. Unfortunately it appears our April joy has come to an end. Only 5C today, and rain until Saturday starting sometime late afternoon. Supposedly.

In other news, I'm heading to Dominican on Monday to celebrate my graduation (23rd to the 30th). I'm hoping to god that this weather information is incorrect:

Pretty sure it will be the forecast... it's thundering almost every day in the tropics.

But that doesn't mean it's not sunny!:cool:

Yeah, it is common in a lot of places like that for there to be thunderstorms every day and then sun afterwards. Often that shows up as rain/thunder for the day in forecasts. In other words, the "rain" forecast is no guarantee that you won't get sun.

Today was the first day I've had free since I've finished my exams. Hence of course the 20 degree weather had to disappear. At least we got a nice game of football in yesterday afternoon, the weather may not be nice enough to play again now for a while.

Great news. Thanks to you both. My fingers are crossed.

And to stay on topic, weather today in St. John's is quite mediocre. 2C currently, supposedly a high of 9C, but chance of showers all day. Doesn't look like we're going to get our sun back until tomorrow.
