Crazy Canadian weather

I woke-up this mourning to find it Snowing and it's the end of March. I have a feeling this is going to be a weird year for weather. I never would have thought it would be snowing in the beginning of spring.

Would are you guys thought on this Crazy Canadian Weather ?

Here in the upper Great Lakes area, we have had almost twice the amount of snow than we normally do. We just had a snow storm on friday. Snow in March isn't unusual, but 6-10 inches is.

Here in Montreal, snow started EARLIER.

We had major snow storms in November.

For the past 10 years we've been hard pressed to have a white christmas, this winter it we had insane amounts of snow by the time Xmas came around.

Yeah, but you'd arrive just in time for the earthquake. :-)

Seems like all the really nice climates have a caveat - seismic activity, hurricanes, floods, etc.

I was ready to rip my hair out this morning, when I wokeup to 1cm of snow. I spent the whole long weekend waxing my 8. Now it's dirty...was ready to skip school just to keep my 8 clean, but I couldn't =[
