Weather here in Ottawa is a little more predictable.
We have 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter
and construction. 

This January was unseasonably cold, with temperatures
mostly between -20 and -40 Celsius instead of the
usual -10 to -15. Not sure if that is better or worse
than the year we had the unusually warm weathe and had
an ice storm instead. 

Summer can actually be quite warm here, with the
Humidex rating occasionally taking it up to near 40
Celsius. Fortunately, it doesn't happen too often but
40 can seem way too hot when you've had -40 at the
opposite end of the scale. 

Sheryll, thanking Mother Nature for the warmer weather
but fearing it means lots of snow is on the way
