After a season of record snow fall in Canada the spring that will arrive on March 20 may not warm the bones of Canadians.

As the Canadian Press reports:

It really is the winter from Hell," senior Environment Canada senior climatologist Dave Phillips said.

Wednesday saw freezing rain in Nova Scotia, snow in New Brunswick and Ontario. Children may even be getting tired of snow days as they were yet again called in Prince Edward Island and part of Scotia.

This has been a season of delays at airports, Pearson International Airport had at least 200 flights delayed yesterday.

The snow in Toronto on Wednesday may be the last straw as city dwellers dealt with the slush.

As the Canadian Press reports:

It's not really the worst (storm) of the season," Phillips admitted, "But it really is the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. There's a kind of weather rage, (with) a collective crying of 'uncle!'," he said.

And the news for Spring according to Phillips isn't going to make everyone jump up and down for joy.

As the Canadian Press reports:

"We're showing colder-than-normal conditions for the spring period," he explained, "It doesn't mean every day is going to be like that, but it means the flavour of the personality of the next three months should represent cooler conditions. I'm probably not going to put away my snow shovel until the long weekend in May," he said.

And those in central Ontario don't hide those shovels. Yep, snow this weekend. Again.
