And from snow a few weeks back, we're into forest fire weather.  City is covered in smoke giving the streets a sickly yellow pallor.

I wonder if we're in the midst of a similar process, but on a global scale? :unsure:

Forest fire smoke has always been a thing living on the prairies, but they do say that the severity of them is increasing with climate change.

It is now dark to the point where vehicles are driving with their headlights on.  It's noon.

I meant the rapid change from winter to summer with a truncated spring in between, possibly being analogous to significant climate change from one state to another stable situation.

Nah that's always been Alberta weather.  You can get snow pretty much any time of year.

Well thank goodness the absolute darkness has faded - the streetlights are back off, it no longer looks like some level of Hades out my office window.

Still smokey though.

Very shortly I'll be facing down 90 degree temps. Thankfully, I'll be departing before it hits 100. :cool:

12C right now.  54F.
It is very cold for this time of the year.  I still have the heating on.  :(

It is very warm in the arctic, warm weather is pushing down cold air through most of Quebec, if not all the province and part of New England, maybe, I haven't really checked.

Some warm weather from the souther US/atlantic coast should be pushing back north any time soon.  Thing is, it might be only located around the extended Montreal area, maybe even up to Quebec city, but we'll be on the fence between the arctic cold air and warm weather from the south.  There goes St-Jean-Baptiste :(

Finally getting some warm, Spring like weather for a while now. This weekend is beautiful, in the 70s (20+C). It did rain or was overcast Wed/Thurs but cleared up nicely on Friday. We've had so much rain, about every other day through April and much of May but it feels so nice now. I've been planting like crazy - annual and perennial flowers and of course my garden is all planted. Nearly 300 bean plants (I'll be luck if half do real well) and carrots. Peas have been growing since early April and I'm seeing lots of flowers which will turn to pea pods.

KRonn you garden sounds idyllic, but also productive.

Here was a nice warm summers day.

Yeah, the garden is a nice place. I  often enjoy just standing among it, looking over it. :) Only one week after I planted them I have lots of bean plants sprouting up already! But not all will continue to grow and thrive and even so I'll get lots that do, lots of beans. I often replant where seeds didn't take but won't do so this year. I have enough even if many don't thrive as well as I'd want. Still waiting on my carrots to start up, but I do see a couple of them just starting out.

Lovely weather today on election day. The Languish selection of a sympathetic christian nutter, a racist ultra liberal and a communist is all battling it out and it looks like the Communist will win that 3 way competition in a landslide.

Summer has come!

True. They have the by far best looking leading candidates, but they'll only get about 12% of the total votes.
