May 24th, the official kickoff to summer and the weather is listening. A very humid start to the day with a dream like haze hanging in the park. Going up to 28 but probably much higher on the humidex.

Today is the official end of winter here in St.John's. At the current 4C, we are grateful that all we have is rain/drizzle and fog instead of snow. Such is Life.

Yes but you live in beautiful Newfoundland. It's a fair trade off (for me anyway). Miles and miles of ashphalt and concrete and lake you shouldn't swim in do not mix well with the sweltering heat and inflamed tempers.

All too true, mrj. One does not get the extreme heat or cold here in St.John's. Days in the + or - 20C range are not that common. Still, I would like to see a bit more sun. Still, when one can't see to clearly in the middle of the afternoon it means fog and not smog. Paix, mon ami.

Despite the gloomy forecast a pleasant weekend. Cool on Saturday but Sunday and Monday were quite nice.

An elite kayaker was killed running Lundbreck Falls, late Sunday afternoon. The falls has been run by hundreds of boaters and this is the first fatality. He was properly equipped and all possible safety precautions were taken. The river was certainly well within the safe flow range.

Sad this happened at all, doubly so as it was so close to home.

Inside scoop on the Southern Alberta storms. Appears that INS down in the good old USofA discovered that a rather unsavory character sometimes known as Old Man Winter had overstayed his visa.

Lots of complaints from the Gore Gang compound down in Tennessee, seems the extended visit was upsetting the "Chicken Little" cart that AG was pushing around. No one would believe that the sky was falling and business had taken a major downturn.

Long Story Short, Old Man Winter was unceremoniously deported to Southern Alberta. And we seem to be stuck with him for the moment.:eek: However plans are afoot to pay a local Indian medicine man to dump him on Southern Ontario.:D

The CBC news website has an interesting telephoto shot of the smoke haze on MTL this morning - that's the Olympic Stadium you're looking at. The telephoto shot makes the haze seem worse than it is, but it's definitely there and easily noticed.

The haze is supposed to dissipate when the wind changes direction later this morning.
