Rain, sleet, freezing rain, flurries, snow, bitterly cold, winds, and now fog & humid hot air. We’ve got it all down in southern Ontario. Come one, come all to see the sideshow that is early spring weather in Canada. Waterproof boots are a must, so make sure they are comfortable because you are going to wear them for about six weeks straight! Plus a warm, but not too hot, rain coat because between days you could have a temperature fluctuation of about 23°C from cold to warm. Plan your days around that!
The freezing rain clogged my eaves troughs so most of last night’s heavy rains poured over the side directly onto the deck and back of the house. So far, no penetration from all that excess water. I checked the gutters after we officially made it into spring, but the sleet, and freezing rains collected on the north side and froze solid. Thanks weather!
Others that I know we’re not so fortunate, as they did have water ingress into their basement living spaces. Which sucks. I offered towels, my wet/dry shop vac, and a dehumidifier. About as much as I can do at this point. Our air blowers are all at the cottage anyway, so I couldn’t offer a high CFM solution to his clean up problems.
I need to break down some garbage sheet goods and get them to the farm burn barrel and then walk the dog. Of course when I needed gas today the price has jumped by 16 cents per litre. If it hadn’t been so nasty out yesterday I would have got it then, at an historically low $1.23,9 cents per litre instead of paying $1.39,9 like I did today. D’oh!
So the carbon tax relief lasted all of a day before they jacked the prices back up anyway, regardless. Fun.
