The Canadian Winter

The 7 day forecast :

Day 1 – Freezing rain with temperatures that feel like -25 C. Be sure to get out for a walk as this may very possibly be the best day of the year yet! In case you slip and fall due to slippery roads, get right up and keep walking ‘cause that’s what Canadians do!

Day 2 – Snow storm with upto 15 cm of snow within 2 hours. This should be fun as the snow has chosen to hit right during the 2 peak hours of the morning commute. So we can rest easy we won’t miss a thing!

Day 3 – Cloudy with a chance of flurries. There is an extreme cold alert in effect all day. Temperatures could drop to – 35 C, feeling like -42 C. Please wear warm clothing when heading outdoors to avoid instant frostbite. Yes, we need to tell you that in case you’d forgotten.

Day 4 -  90% chance of severe thunderstorms and 50+ mm of rain, accompanied by gusty winds that could greatly reduce visibility on roads. Rest of everything is work as usual.

Day 5 – Yet another day of heavy snow and freezing temperatures. Keep those shovels handy! Oh, and don’t forget to dress warmly.

Day 6 – Seriously? You still care??


Day 7 – Spring is finally here!! And it’s only mid-April yet! Temperatures could be as high as 0 C (feels like -5 C) !! A great day to head outdoors and enjoy the warm weather while it lasts.

  1. Ideal weather to cuddle up and watch a movie instead :) Is it true that Canadians are more romantic than others...?
