Here, in “Winterpeg”, winter hangs on forever. Everyone who can do so heads south for a week or two to escape the cold weather. But, today, it seems like winter is almost over. With a temperature just over the freezing mark and some fog and light drizzle, there was actual slush in my street. Dirty slush (hey, it’s Winnipeg!) but it beats packed snow and ice any day.
Of course, the key word above is “seems”. Wasn’t it Forrest Gump who said “March is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get”? The forecast high temperatures for all of this week are above freezing but anything can happen in March. Even April weather can’t be trusted in Manitoba.
Regardless, I’m enjoying the lengthening days. I’ve put away the heavy parka for lighter version. Soon, I won’t even have to wear gloves. Imagine that!
