Taken yesterday near Vanscoy, SK. shortly before road equipment arrived to help them out.

I’ll take the cherry blossoms in Vancouver,thanks.
Anyone have an educated guess as to how delayed spring planting will be?
They don’t usually start until first week of May, so there’s time for it to melt. Time for the land to dry enough to get equipment out….
Spare a thought to the poor buggers in and around Winnipeg and down into North Dakota when all this starts to melt. They’re going to have a massive flood.
Just for that, I’ll refrain from gloating over the weather here.
I have a picture taken near Nanaimo BC this morning, of the golf ball that I errantly chipped over the green and into the daffodils. Cost me my par. Sigh.
maybe Dr. Mengel Suzuki can send them a few carbon credits to help dig them out.

maybe some one can drag the zookers a$$ over there and force him to shovel some of that gore-bull warming!!!!
Southeast Sask farmers are going to face a big challenge also. I’m sure they’re all loading up on crop insurance. Last year they were just drying up from the previous year.
Ah…nothin’ a coupla D8’s and a big FWD loader can’t fix….that’s what they do in the Roger’s Pass.
Was 33 degrees here yesterday.
Won’t be in a hurry to get back to that!
Oh…., and that’s Celsius, btw. Nice. ;>D)

Rogers Pass – 60 feet of snow – no big deal
Saskatchwan – 6 feet of snow – can handle it
Toronto – 1 1/2 feet of snow – an eternity of mocking
Doesn’t look like the cherry blossoms in Vancouver now does it.
Correction 5-10 cm of snow is a disaster….schools closed…
Gorebal warming.
Obviously, their problem is that the train engines are facing away from each other.

Similar to phil’s two brain cells!
First sentence from the weather summary at http://www.weather.gov, the weather site for the US’s NOAA (which stands for something like National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration): The brief warm-up that brought temperatures to near normal for parts of the central and eastern U.S. over the weekend will quickly come to an end.
Awoke to -10°C and light snow this morning. I am to blame, I removed my winter tires yesterday.
Remember Dr. Doolittle and his “Pushmi-pullyu”? That is merely the locomotive equivalent of one.
Still lots of ice on lake Simcoe. I iced 18 beauty jumbo perch yesterday standing on 4 inches of refrozen slush and 18 inches of hard clear black ice. The shore ice is breaking away and access has started to deteriorate, but just barely.
Woohoo!
Last year was exceptionally warm, the whole lake was ice free at this point and there was no snow in the bush.
We were shore fishing the rivers this weekend last year.
This year will be one of the latest break ups I’ve ever seen but it could be accelerated with a week of heat and warm rain
Minnows look like they’re having trouble spawning and haven’t made it up the creeks and rivers yet on the ones I checked.
Lots of waterfowl returning but the lake is still totally covered.
May be a hard spring for deer, turkey and other birds in Ontario’s near north, especially if it’s an overly wet one.
I suspect that snagglepuss is retired after a productive carreer…hence Arizona is deserved.
There is a youtube of a NS plow with 3 locomotives getting stuck and unstuck….seems they brought in a tracked excavator to dig them out….ubiquidous machines any more…

An A+ for you, sasquatch.
