When I did my morning temperature check today, I was surprised to see that Edmonton was stuck at 34 degree Fahrenheit with rain showers and snow.
I can hope that the snow did not stick. While Edmonton's weather seems to bother me, it certainly has not made news in Edmonton. I guess if you live that as far north as Edmonton, you are used to cold weather in May.
I wonder just how much cold would it take before people started complaining?
In talking to some of my Maritime friends, I find that they are having a warm, early spring. Many of their trees are already blooming, and there is even some talk of haying taking place in June this year.
My guess is that only people who have lived in Edmonton for years can really endure the late spring cold without going nuts. It is hard to imagine people bundled up for snow just a day after I enjoyed a warm walk along the beach.
It is even harder to relate to snow while I am tasting my first tomato of the season.
