If the 25C temperatures in March (when the highs are on average below 0) in Winnipeg this year are any indication, I'd say, at least Russia and Canada might be on the way to becoming a lot more habitable. No wonder our environmental record is so... stellar, eh.

On the West Coast, it was wetter and we had a very mild spring.

Today, I heard thunder. Just seeing lightning is extreme for this part of the world. People stop what they're doing and go towards windows to look at it. Since leaving Texas in 1996, I have heard thunder about eight times. Three of those were in the last month.
