Arctic Winter Hangs On

["Jan England " <>]

Hi Everyone,

I have just returned from 6 weeks in Canada - two weeks in Ontario and 4 
weeks in British Columbia and Alberta.  In Ontario they were complaining 
that it was a very late spring.  My sister grows salad greens and vegetables 
for restaurants and her plantings were delayed with the possibility of 
frosts.  We actually had one while I was there in mid-May.  Then while in 
Alberta, it snowed in Banff for the first time in 33 years in June.  The 
locals were not happy but we loved it.
So the winter conditions are certainly hanging on longer in those areas and 
no doubt they are in Siberia as well.
