WELL CANADA, it's a been a long long long long loooooonnnnng winter, but The Sun is longer than 30 minutes, the snow is kinda sorta melting, and we have to make way for the UV Index Jerks, so we are shutting down for the summer! DON'T WORRY we're still around, but many of the interns are going on break, and then after that we will not only be doing reviews and analysis, but working on the 2014 Winter Season! We dont' want to give anything away, but some of our plans rhyme with 'Mew Tebsite'.

Big thanks to to everyone for their Tweets, Emails and Facebook Messages! This year was a lot of fun, and we got to connect with people all across Canada, and even from some around the world! 

BTW, our buddy @labandfield did some Long John Index Crunching and found the two Coldest Days ( at least that we're tracked on the Long John Index)

COLDEST DAY  - 11 Feb 2014. Total LJI: 87 Average: 3 (Only Vancouver & Kamloops had LJI < 3)

RUNNER UP - 31 December 2013 Total LJI: 83 Average: 3 A few more 1s, but also more 5s 

 

Happy Summering Everybody!

Good news Canada! The Weather has flip flopped! Now its the EAST's turn to enjoy some slighly warmer temperatures ( finally its Melty in Fredericton) and The West is now a cold and snowy wasteland! Pretty much a Long John Index of 3 from the Mountains to the end of Manitoba, and then 1's from Ontario to the Atlantic. NOT too bad up North either...well it's actually lousy spring weather, but it could be colder!

WELL the good news is it's a little warmer out east! The Bad news is it's colder out West! Much of Alberta and Saskatchewan are waking up some of the Snow that Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes have been 'enjoying' . Did this system move the opposite direction? What sort of trickery is this!

EVER SO SLOWLY, Winter is starting to break across the dominion! Heck Even Good Ol Reliable Winnipeg will see some melty temperatures, and heck it will actually be RAINING In Toronto! MEANWHILE Sudbury is again being snowed upon, which should add to their very tidy snow collection.
