Getting warmer!

We've had several amazing days in a row here in Toronto, and also up in Algonquin. And the forecast for next week seems to be for lots of sun and daytime highs in the 20° C range. I'm staring to think my date of May 3rd might be a little late :-)

Thanks to Martin Rus for this report from this past Tuesday:

"I thought I'd pass along the following information after looking at the site. I drove through Algonquin this past Tuesday afternoon, where many of the major lakes were still largely frozen over. I stopped over at Canoe Lake on my way back, around 4:30 or so, and at the Portage store area, the bay was still completely frozen over, with weak ice at the edge closest to the lot. I'll add that temperatures here west of the park went up to near 20 yesterday, and probably the same today, so the same will likely apply in the park.
