Hello. My name is Bob and I live in the province of Ontario in Canada.

I hope y'all don't mind discussing the weather with a guy from
America. I belong to a North American weather group, but also have a
genuine interest in UK weather.

I vacationed in England in 1990s, but regret not having the time to
tour Scotland. I have lived throughout the USA and Canada, so have
experienced a variety of weather conditions.

Bye.

Hi
I'm heading over your way next month, Toronto for a week and then onto
Cleveland OH to meetup with family.
I hear you have some _interesting_ weather in those parts?

Yeah, our winter weather is extremely variable. The temperature in
southern Ontario, where I reside, in February can range from minus 30C
to plus 10C. The temperature can change 20C, up or down, in a matter
of a few hours. There can be big dumps of snow, though, on occasion,
it can get warm enough to rain. The sun does not shine much here in
the winter.

Typically, the temperature is below freezing (we have had continuous
snowcover since about November 25th). The overnight low this past week
dropped to minus 24C with a minus 32 windchill. This was preceded by a
25 cm snowfall.

However, as of tomorrow, we are beginning a "January thaw". On the 6th
it is suppose to reach plus 7C and remain above freezing for several
days. It is not unusual for mild air to move in from the south in
January and February.
