Well, just like that winter is back--and with a vengeance! It snowed all day today in Toronto and I had to sweep the car and shovel the driveway twice. And on top of that the forecast is showing at least 5 or 6 more days of very cold temperatures--as low as -15C in Algonquin on both Friday and Sunday nights. That's awfully cold for March 27th!
Given this forecast I'm not feeling very confident in my choice of April 21st--I think we could be looking at a May ice-out date for the first time in 14 years.
I have finally caught up and posted all the dates I have received so far (130 of them), as well as the usual graph showing the distribution. April 22nd is the overwhelming first choice, with almost 50% of people choosing a date in the week between April 19-25.
We shall see!
