- Ha! Here in Southern Ontario (especially in Toronto) we get this kind
- of weather *all the time*, as the temperature tends to oscillate
- between above freezing and below freezing.
-
- I sympathize with your various predicaments, and hope everything worked
- out all right. I must confess, however, that a tiny and very uncharitable
- part of my brain is chortling: you guys in B.C. are the ones who usually
- have spring in March while we here are still bundling up and/or
- scraping the salt marks off our boots. (No wonder our country is so
- divided. We're all suffering from weather envy. :-))
