Don’t put those snow shovels away just yet.
In case you hadn’t noticed it’s still winter.
We’re in for some snow today and the forecast calls for accumulations of between two and four centimetres during the day and another two centimetres at night.
That’s not good for folks who have large driveways to clear but it’s great news for skiers, snowboarders and tobogganers, especially school-aged kids looking for something fun to do with the two-week spring break about to begin this weekend.
The high for today will be -3 C and if you’re going out tonight dress warmly. The temperature is expected to drop to -8 C with a winds gusting to 40 kilometres per hour.
More flurries are in the forecast for Thursday with a high of -3 C and a low of -12 C.
The sun should return Friday and Saturday with highs ranging from 0C to 3C and lows of -11 C (Friday) and -5 (Saturday).
Sunday’s forecast calls for cloudy skies and a 60 per cent chance of flurries with a low of -8 C.
The vernal equinox that brings the official arrival of spring happens on Thursday, March 20 at 2:01 a.m. That’s the moment when the centre of the sun crosses over the earth’s celestial equator into the Northern Hemisphere and day and night are of equal length.
