Snow is still falling in this nation’s capital, but luckily not enough that we have to break out the snow shovels again. On the 4th and 5th some trace amounts fell to the ground. Environment Canada considers trace amounts to be anything less than 1 cm. On April 5th we were hit with a whopping 2cm and another 2.4cm fell on the 6th.

More snow, mixed with rain, is expected to fall today. Fortunately, this is the last day in the forecast that’s calling for any type of precipitation. Clear skies and sunshine is expected over the next 7 days, with temperatures hovering around the 7C mark. We can hope that we’ve seen the last of the falling white crap.

I was hoping that I was done posting to this blog for this snow season. We had a good stretch of over a month without snow. In fact, most of the snow had melted away by mid March, which is a little unusual. Mother Nature however reminded us today that snow season isn’t over yet, and will probably remind us a few other times this week. Luckily it went up to +5C in the afternoon and it rained, so the snow didn’t stay very long. A guestimate would put the snowfall in Orleans to be 1cm or less.
