From the article:

OntarioWith normal spring temperatures expected for the entire province, much of Ontario should see above normal precipitation amounts, thanks to an active weather season expected for the U.S., which will see more storms track into the Great Lakes basin than usual.

Yes, things are desperate this time of year, but storm systems are typically the cause of rare birds, shorebird groundings and fallout conditions (depending on how and when they hit). More storm systems = more birds, right? 

We can only hope!!!

(where else in Canada would you have a sight like this?!)

I've always been excited when April 24th rolls around. Usually by then, there has either been a blast of warm air already, or one is in sight. Introducing the day counter:

days until April 24th!
