In the midst of climate horror stories from around the world, we in Toronto have been experiencing a stretch of exceptionally lovely fall weather. I could hardly believe that I could have lunch on a patio on Friday, almost the end of September. And Saturday was perfect for walking. What a pleasure!
Now, being a true Canadian, I do believe we will pay for this largesse come winter. In the hopes of being proven wrong, I consulted the Farmer's Almanac. Unfortunately, the Farmer must be Canadian too - here is the forecast.
From the Atlantic seaboard to Arctic shores to the Pacific Coast—in almost every nook and cranny that typically sees snow—Canadians should expect oodles of fluffy white throughout the season. This will be coupled with seasonably chilly temperatures at or below normal.
So, enjoy the upcoming week or two because you know in your heart that this bounty will end. But that is okay, because we walkers are a hearty bunch. To paraphrase "neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail shall keep TPW from their appointed rounds." (Okay, okay, maybe we can sit out the sleet and hail but you get the idea). We will be ready, armed in our fleece lined gear, to walk our distances!
