Don't be making with the rain dance in Drumheller. Acting too far out of normal will result in you being given a place in the Tyrell Museum and studied as a new historic find ???

Note, it's -16C in Yellowknife today. Two days ago it was record warmth there (over +12).

[Glacier]

Here's an interesting note: Kamloops was 8 degrees cooler yesterday than the day before. Meanwhile, at my place and the Okanagan Valley, we were warmer yesterday than the day before. Crazy how the temperature can very that much in such a short distance.

How is that crazy? We had a much wetter than average winter this year, and last year was much drier than average. It looks like all this warmth has pushed the snowpack from way above normal to normal in a short period of time.

I appreciated the weather a little too much today. Any signs of a cooling trend?

Heat exhaustion and sunburn. I drank litres of water, wore a hat and wore sunblock that I applied more than once - it must have been pretty warm out there today.
