April 15
What a month! It was -3 last night.
Tiny hail: graupel in Newfoundland. (Soft hail or snow pellets, too small to be called hail.)
Crews face hazardous conditions and significant damage such as broken poles, downed lines & trees as they work to restore power to over 42,000 customers. Teams from our contact centre to lines, forestry and damage assessors are coming together to help with relief efforts #ONstorm pic.twitter.com/mZiBWTqzVr— Hydro One (@HydroOne) April 15, 2018

A real overview of the weather!!! :))
And YES !!! You are speaking in plain language: Celsius degrees! :)
It looks and sounds very gloomy. People tend to talk and write a lot about the weather, and yet they're not fully aware of the full control weather has upon us. Predictions are that it's getting even worse.
It was a weird April.
As for Hillier, well, someday when I see his obituary in the papers, I'll forego the usual not speaking ill of the dead routine and say good riddance.
Spring was late in Europe as well and really impacted our tulip viewing at Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands.
