Well, not scorching or anything .... but hot for me, we worked outside in shorts.

My grandparents homesteaded near there in the early 1900s. I would so love to find someone who lives nearby.

I don't have relatives there but if you're looking for genealogy help, there are SK volunteers listed online who may be able to help out.

I'll never get there, probably. Maybe some day I can find someone local to pick up a pebble and mail it to me. The homestead was at Ceylon SK, which may be a ghost town now. My grandfather built the bandstand there, and started the community band.

Usually, the parade takes place in freezing wind, amid six-foot snow banks. Today, it was t-shirts and shorts.

Next year, I'm gonna pipe-line some spf-45.

I have an uncle who farms there (south of Winnipeg) and he says he's never seen anything like it in 50 years he's been on the farm. It's unreal. They had very little snowfall this year too.

I'm further west and we've had a warm winter, but nothing like that.

I do enjoy the early warmth here but it comes with discomfort of wtf is going on?

another dry spring/summer coming and woe to the farmers. Last summer was the first in Years we felt we had to water our grass. We don't water for cosmetics, we water for keeping it alive.

since the 15th and into the next couple weeks.
Tomatoes need over 70 degree days and over 50 at night, to set fruit.
Our temps will be in the mid to hi 80's days and low 60's at night.
This is more typical of mid to late May than March here.
And a very mild winter.

Total heat wave.
