Here comes Spring!

With April on the horizon, we have been fortunate to dodge the bullet of extreme weather other areas have suffered---most notably the east coast---and are simply waiting for more warmth before charging to the great outdoors.

Here is a sample of what we can expect over the next month or so...

APRIL 2018 LONG RANGE WEATHER FORECAST FOR SOUTHERN ONTARIO

Dates	Weather Conditions
Apr 1-6	Snow showers, cold
Apr 7-12	Sunny, turning mild
Apr 13-16	A few showers, warm

Apr 21-24	Rainy east, sunny west; cool
Apr 25-30	Rainy periods, cool
April	temperature 5°C (avg.) precipitation 40mm (20mm below avg. east, avg. west)

In all an average April, with the Farmer's Almanac touting the following for the rest of the lawn-care season. 

April and May will be a bit cooler than normal, with near-normal precipitation. Summer will be hotter than normal, with rainfall below normal in Southwest Ontario and above normal elsewhere. The hottest periods will be in early and late June, early July, and mid- to late August. September and October will be warmer and slightly drier than normal.

Not ideal but...

As long as I'm not trudging through soggy slop, or watching lawns whither and die in a crispy golden brown, I'm a happy camper.

So here's hoping with fingers crossed.
