Only one I found was "calm". I think blizzard could be overkill but....

The temperature took a big drop here too. Hopefully it kills off the mosquitos that were out earlier than usual this year.

The mosquitos in the Peg are the size of hummingbirds.

More like 24C or 75 F (converted for our American viewers hea')



Tourist weather.



Guess ya gotta wait a long time for spring to arrive, eh?

The problem with good weather in Vancouver is you actually have to be in that hole to enjoy it.

I'm at the beach. Its really sunny and warm right now.

Actually a bit too hot. Suns just about to come down.

We don't seem to have had much of a spring this year,which is regrettable.

April was the warmest on record.

May will likely rank up there.

Summer appears to have arrived fast here.

It will probably be very hot in July.

Possibly Many forest fires if it doesn't cool down a bit..

Will this El Nino last throughout 2016?
