Well now I’ve gone and jinxed it, haven’t I?

My bad. But it’s right there. At the tail end of the long-range forecast. Sunday, a low of -4 C. Monday, a 60 per cent chance of flurries. Could it be? Has the time finally come, Rafiki? (yes, that was a Lion King reference). Or is it too far away to accurately predict?

I suppose that’s next week’s problem because for now we’re still in store for some decently warm temperatures with forecasters calling for highs of 18 C Wednesday and Thursday. Might be the final kick at the can before the season that shall not be named truly takes hold. I am not ready.
