I saw this today and thought I would share with all my Canadian friends. I hope your weather becomes as warm as mine very soon!

77* F. here today........but big drop tonight.

37°F here right now, although it did get up to 48° today. Sigh... I did have someone stop by to look at the trailer -started to "graupel" 1/4" pellets while we were looking at the outside.

No, but that's one chemical I haven't tried on it!

Same situation in MN too. It has snowed the past 4 or so days, with a 6 inch dump last week.

Yep, we had 8" of heavy wet snow on the ground this morning. Still waiting for spring, but it is no reason to not go camping.

Steve Hammel · 04-14-2013, 07:35 PM

I feel so guilty having to use my AC as I drive around while all you guys are dealing with snow. We are going to be approaching 90 F this coming week. Believe it or not I get sick of sunny skies every single day with no change. As soon as summer vacation starts I head out of here and look for a good old rain storm.

**Jim Bennett** · 04-14-2013, 07:39 PM

We have lots of sunny skies here. Calgary has more hours of sunlight than any other Canadian city. Temps of 90°F to me seem absolutely torturous, I would melt in no time.

I agree, I'm from Spokane which is practically Canada LOL! Once the 100's F hit, in Vegas, we go 60-90 days without dipping below 100. I can handle 100's once in a great while but when you can't even open your window at night it is torture. One year my pool didn't get below 105 F for the whole summer and that actually was refreshing because it was cooler than the surrounding air.

Steve I just got back from three months in the Baja.

Yes spring sure is not here in Vancouver,BC from what I see.

Better days ahead.

Fall back in the Baja that makes Vegas seem cold.

No spring here either - a wee bit of the snow melted today though. Basically it is still too cold for a light jacket. Yesterday I saw the first geese of the season - so there is hope!

LOL! Must be a sure sign that Spring has sprung. Enjoy your eggfest, seems there are a few of those coming up this time of year.

Here in Niagara we had ice on the puddles yesterday morning. Today the prediction is for 20C (70F). Very odd weather this year.

Alf S. · 04-15-2013, 06:19 AM

Hi: Steve Hammel... Forecast is for spring today!!! We're off to the Egg Camping Club rally in Tenn. weather or not. We've got a furnace, A/C, and 4X4 tug. That should do it. One thing we won't have are "RED PEPPERS"!!!

We had spring here in the Black Hills for most of March. So I pulled my trailer out of storage the first week of April. We had a 20" snow storm on April 9th and on and off flurries every day since. We were snowed in for two days and had to hire a guy with a road grader to plow us out so we could get to the nearest highway. I thought this was strange until I saw a Rapid City weather report last night. They had stats from the 6 biggest snowstorms in their recorded weather history. All of them were in April!
