It feels like we are a hapless bird in a wonky convection oven that regularly decided to blast warm and cold air for days at at time. This weekend was highlighted by positive temperatures and freezing rain mixed with snow.
Who needs to go to the gym?
Yes, for those of us who used the nice weather (3 days in a row above zero) to finally scrape and clean their sidewalks and driveway down to the concrete, that work was undone over the course of 24 hours as everything was recoated in snow and ice for my convenience.
So after work today, I once again have my winter recreational activities cut out for me. I really do not mind winter, but the weather really needs to decide to be either cold or warm and not fluctuate wildly between the two.

Shouldn’t Canadians take winter in stride? In Pa we have finally gotten some warm sunny days to get the ice off of everything .

Agreed Alan, but I’ve been taking the last 3 months in stride, and lately we’ve been getting these luscious tastes of spring, only to be thrown once again into the deep freeze. If it would pick a setting already I would be a happy Canuck. :>

The Arbourist,
I agree, it sucks when you have a warm up followed by a sharp cold snap. But at least we finally had a few days to melt the ice build up we have . Now today it really cooled down again . I work outside so I mind the weather .
