I tried to capture it with my phone while zooming in, so it doesn’t look great, and the leaves are just starting to come out.

If it had small bright red flowers way earlier than everything else, then it's a silver maple. Not nearly as messy as my Norway maple though

Yesterday was our first somewhat Summer-like day, at least in the afternoon. High of 22 and quite muggy, with a humidex of 27.

Much less so today; with a high of only 10, overcast.

Miserable. But mild.

Good hill parkers, angling their wheels the right way.

Something I learned getting my license in the prairies that really never translated into real life until moving here.

The humid season has definitely arrived. Currently 24.7 and sunny. The low was 13.5, yesterday's high was 24.6 with a low of 13.8. We got over an inch of rain yesterday morning, then it cleared up.

Nice forecast

10-20cm of snow expected for the Bow Valley overnight.

Damn.

Has SHH ever seen a driverless parked vehicle randomly rolling down a hill?

Yesterday I explored more of the Nottawasaga Valley, making a quick escape from downtown Barrie (a homeless man told me there'd just been a shooting) via Baxter, Everett, Rosemont then down through Glen Haffy - when I'm physically able to I'll be hiking the Bruce Trail here - to Hockley, down some scenic hilly dirt roads ending up in North Brampton. Anyway, from about Bradford/Rosemont north there's noticeably less leaves out, flowers etc.

Found a really nice home for sale in Sheldon: $1 million for a beautiful log cabin

Mostly overcast and periodic rain, high humidity and heavy fog around Rosemont to Glen Haffy Road yesterday; today mostly cloudy and windy in Toronto.

13C and mainly cloudy. Some sunny breaks as well.

Low of 6C this morning.

The warmspot was Sarnia, ON at 27.0C. That is the new warmest temperature this year.

Warmest low was Harrow, ON at 16.5C.
If it holds it would the highest low in the country this year. Harrow recorded a low of 15.4C yesterday (and did hold onto it) and that is the new official highest low of 2024.

mcminsen · #**2712** Posted **Apr 30, 2024, 6:16 AM**

Mostly sunny. Some showers started later in the evening.

Monday's high at Vancouver Harbour was 13 C, the low was 6 C.

Soap on the bus bench. Cereal bowls on the fence. It's one of those days lol

MonctonRad · #**2714** Posted **Apr 30, 2024, 11:27 AM**

2C and partly cloudy in Moncton at 8 AM, going up to 10C later this afternoon.

It could be worse. Closer to the heat sink of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, it is currently snowing in Charlottetown,

Coldrsx · #**2715** Posted **Apr 30, 2024, 1:20 PM**

Let there be snow. Canmore is still getting puked on.

I have a Norway and Silver Maple on my lot - I find the Silver Maple to be much more frustrating to deal with. The Norway drops buds galore in the spring, but is pretty clean for the rest of the year.

The Silver Maple is dropping branches constantly (it's a very large tree) and all kinds of other stuff like the helicopter seeds in the fall, etc.

SignalHillHiker · #**2717** Posted **Apr 30, 2024, 2:32 PM**

Very loud, very heavy rain now. I'm in a brick office building and it's loud.

Not the weirdest thing I've seen at a bus stop, to be honest.

I saw this picture this morning first thing, and though, haha, its only raining in Edmonton.

Now getting heavy snow (at least in the SW part of the city)

Is St John's Newfoundland the type of place if you're a nonconformist you get yelled at, name called and mocked by rednecks in trucks at bus stops?

SHH, your bus routes do remind me of KW twenty years ago. Very depressing, and also scary as these rednecks screamed at me every profanity imaginable.

Another overcast, rainy day in Toronto.
