Which will it be?

A lot of areas in our province had a lot of problems with yesterday’s snowfall. It wasn’t as bad where we are, but at this point, I’m okay if the truck repair doesn’t happen today, either. More time to clear some snow.

The question is, what will things be like over the next few days?

I got this forecast from the weather app on my desktop.

Up to 3C/37F tomorrow? Up to 6C/43F the day after? Mix of sun and clouds? Wouldn’t that be nice!

I got this from the weather app on my phone.

So… 2C/36F over the next two days. Fog tomorrow evening. Mix of rain and snow the next morning, then just snow through until the weekend.

We’ll see which one turns out to be right!

This time of year is always the hardest. Spring is teasing, but winter just isn’t letting go, yet!

Meanwhile, we hibernate while waiting for work on the truck. My younger daughter got up at 2am, cleaned the kitchen and has been baking bread all morning. What a sweetheart!

I don’t think we’re gonna make it…

We’re supposed to reach a high of -6C/21F today.

According to this, we should already be at -8C/18F as I write this, but we’re -12C/9F instead, with a wind chill of -19C/-2F. That wind is BITTER out there! I strongly suspect we’re not going to reach the predicted high today! Especially not with tomorrow supposed to be even colder.

But look ahead to Wednesday! We’re looking at 0C/32F! In one of my apps that has long range forecasts into December, there’s even a 3C/37F in the forecast!

I am good with this. The furnace is already turning on and staying on way too often, even with these mild temperatures (and yes, I did turn it down a bit. We just have a very inefficient house).

No word from the roofers yet. My brother is going to reach out to them. He wants to be here when they are, which means booking time off work, so the more advance notice the better, but it’s so weather dependent! Still, if it can be done before the usual colder months of January and February, that will help on our heating bill, that’s for sure!
