Thanksgiving

Another long weekend with a pretty nasty looking forecast:

How unusual is that?

The average high for this time of year is way up at 12°C, and the low is 1°C. And those are just the averages - last year we had a day above 25°C, and days above 15°C are pretty common.

But if the weekend does follow the forecast, then it will definitely be a cool Thanksgiving. Although we should still be well above 2009 which was the coldest in recent history, where the high temperatures for all 4 days were below freezing.

In terms of precipitation, Thanksgiving is normally pretty quiet.

This year's forecast calls for rain and flurries and snow - and some parts of the province are supposed to get a lot of snow - so we'll have to see where things end up.
