Occasional light snow will occur today and tomorrow with very little accumulation. Winds don't weaken until Monday when winds will be around 'only' 20 km/h.<br /><br />An extra push of cold arctic air moves in Tuesday when highs will likely struggle to reach -20°C. And then there's another extra push of even colder air possible by Thursday-Friday.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-79429873688999834842014-02-21T15:16:43.511-06:002014-02-21T15:16:43.511-06:00And yeah, been lots of thunderstorms in southern O...And yeah, been lots of thunderstorms in southern Ontario lately!

The next 2 weeks look frigid and beyond that it's just too uncertain.<br /><br />All I can say right now is that it will take a miracle to get an early Spring this year so I wouldn't get too hopeful just yet. Although we may see some warmer temperatures come March, it's going to take a while to melt all this snow and actually see the end of winter. <br /><br />History shows that a late spring will occur after the type of winter we've had. This winter is on track to be among the top 15 coldest since 1872 and top 5 coldest since 1900. <br /><br />Of the 6 coldest winters since 1900, only 2 were followed by a warmer than normal March for the respective period. Also, of the 20 coldest winters since 1872, 11 were followed by a top 20 coldest March. Of those 20 winters, not a single March was among the top 50th warmest Marches, and not a single March was warmer than today's normal March mean of -5.8°C.jjcwpghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353008394397372445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-65351209607331702522014-02-21T09:47:14.510-06:002014-02-21T09:47:14.510-06:00JJ, There seems to be some rumblings that winter m...JJ, There seems to be some rumblings that winter may loosen it's icy grip 2nd week of March, what are your thoughts on that on whether it will happen or not?<br /><br />Thanks, AnonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071575595521727141.post-32510231098006752082014-02-21T08:41:15.282-06:002014-02-21T08:41:15.282-06:00Not much to add in today's update.
