Portions of northeastern Ontario (at the same latitude as southern
England), about a six hour drive north of Toronto, are experiencing
extreme cold far worse than that "down south" where I live. Last night
"up north" the low was minus 35C. The high today will only be aroud
minus 25C. The low tonight will approach minus 35C again with a minus
40 or lower windchill.


When the weather is this cold, ice crystals fill the air.


Southern Ontario rarely gets this cold.

Oh I hate you Bob :-)


Seriously, I'm really really jealous! Canada sounds fantastic, you get
warm dry summers too.

I checked out the website and saw the pictures of central Canada in
early April and Nottingham, England in early April. Where I live
between latitude 44 and 45 in Ontario, we never have deep snow in
early April. Nevertheless, my garden and lawn, though not covered in
snow, is lifeless this early in the spring.
