Firstly, I know it’s not the apocalypse. Twas a joke, are we still allowed to make those?

That said, things could stand to be a touch warmer.

Alas, it’s April in Edmonton, fools, and of course there’s a mountain of snow outside to go along with a -26 wind chill. I’m sure it’ll get warm again but not anytime soon with forecasters calling for more cold, more cloud and more snow in the near future. Mother Nature is really going out of her way to keep us indoors, eh? What I’d give for a relaxing, warm afternoon on the deck.
