The weekend before last, in my part of Canada, we had temperatures around minus 20 Celsius; at times the wind was strong enough to make temperatures more line -40 C. Today it was plus 2 Celsius and I drove home in rain. Tomorrow it's supposed to be plus 6. I've never seen it this warm in January; neither have I ever experienced rain in January.
That's what everyone said when I got here 30 years ago. Now it rains every fucking January and it sucks shit through a straw. It's snowing and safely below freezing again, but the base has turned to ice; it shouldn't thaw until breakup.
