The heat wave continues

This is Canada. Until yesterday, it was winter. The average temperature for Windsor in March is 2 celcius (36 fahrenheit). The highest average temperature ever recorded in Windsor was 5 celcius (41 fahrenheit) ... until now. With days left until the end of the month, the average temperature for March stands at 9 celcius (48 fahrenheit)!

Over the past four days, the average temperature in Windsor has been 78 fahrenheit. Yesterday, Windsor hit an all-time high temperature for March 21st in all of Canada ... 82 degrees. That was higher than Las Vegas, Dallas Texas, and a few other cities that are normally considered "hot". And it was freakin' WINTER (OK, technically the first day of spring).

I'm not complaining, but G-d help all the blooming flowers and no-longer-hibernating critters if we get one or two more good snowfalls before the really warm weather begins.
