THE LONG WINTER - THANKS CANADA

This is a good quote from a weather blog in Baltimore. Thanks Canada from all of us US community members!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We know many readers are clamoring for a micron of good news about when they can fully engage in Spring-a-ling mode. You want to get out, clean up the yard, wash the car, and just simply not. have. to. deal. with. winter. for. a. long. time.
Still, Powderhounds know March can be a vicious beast at times, with unrelenting cold due to an excessively deep snow cover throughout our neighbor to the north. We know you might say, "But, Canada is always cold and snow-covered, so that's not news."
It could be said that both this winter and last winter might be anomalies in that regard. In 2013 at this time, temperatures in the Hudson Bay region were near 32 F, starkly above normal for that area. Last week, those same areas had upper level temperatures at 5000 feet around -50 C. Yes, MINUS 50. That cold is not going anywhere for a while.
