Hot today here. High of 36C (97 Freedom degrees) and then this weekend, low of 2C (36F) with a chance of snow!
Whatcha got?
We need rain, not enough snow this winter, been hot and dry as all heck for the last few weeks.
I have the same forecast. Winnipeg?
Not as crazy as you, 84 freedoms here (29 Celsius) today. Going to drop to the mid 50s (13-ish c) in a few days.
85 freedoms. Burn bans, had brush fires over the weekend.
Weekend expected high 48 freedoms. Lows still above freezing. Still waiting for our usual May snowstorm.
Yes!!
Go Jets go!!!
Yes we need the rain as well. Big grass fire in the city limits yesterday. Burn ban in the city. No backyard fires
Pretty boring on the west coast. Highs of 16-17, lows of 10. Always threatening to rain at some point.
Weather related; something amazing is happening in Oz at the moment. A couple of months back the state of Queensland experienced major flooding, the extraordinary scale of which is playing out in various ways.
Firstly the flooded area was massive - approximately 4 times the size of the UK.
Then that water started moving, not towards the coast, as most major rivers run, but along pre-historic waterways towards the the heart of oz and the Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre basin, a 1.2 million square kilometre ancient inland sea, and into Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre itself, the world’s second largest salt lake that only completely fills once or twice a century.
In that process rivers up to 90 kilometres wide(!) have flowed over thousands of kilometres where there is usually dust. The volume and speed of the water flow has apparently been breathtaking. Within days, land that is always brown on satellite imagery has exploded into green.
The lake itself has been transformed from largely a “salt pan” into a wildlife oasis. If I were a rich man, I’d be hiring a private plane to go and check out a once in a lifetime event.

That does sound rather amazing.
Winnipeg where it is either minus 40 or plus 30 C
We’re finally past the risk of freezing, and have now entered The Pollening.
Sounds crazy. I’ll have to look it up.
