The depths of winter have passed us by (hopefully), with their minus 35 degree wind chills, endless piles of filthy snow and frost-tinged fingers and toes. Now we're entering the slush-and-rain period (again, hopefully) which other, more fortunate places might call "spring." But despite its trials, spring in Montreal is a crucial herald of summer, that best of seasons when everything seems okay for a little while.
In typical southern Quebec fashion, it looks like we're skipping most of spring and heading right into summer. The Montreal weather forecast from Environment Canada shows days with temperatures in the mid-20s next week.
