Well Alberta gets a nice bath of summer temperatures, right before it SNOWS AGAIN on the weekend! It is very likely that Leduc Alberta is going to develop a pot hole so big it will engulf the whole town! Foggy and Misty in Saskatchewan this morning, so GOOD LUCK watching your Dog Run away for 3 days! Snow in Western and Northernish Ontario and in Quebec, but otherwise pretty fair temperature wise! Freezing Drizzle on the East Coast, which is fun for Nobody! Up North, Not to bad in Whitehorse and Yellowknife, but WOW is it Cold in Alert! -49 C, - 56 C with the Windchill!

The 2012 - 2013 Winter Season is OVAH! Mitten High Fives Canada!

 

Good Morning Bonjour Canada! 

Well it is that time of year again! Sure there is still snow on the ground in some parts of the country, and Alert, top of Canada is COLD as heck, but it is time for us to bid you adieu for the non winter season! A quick glance at our records show that we started tweeting back in SEPTEMBER, to it's been a lonnnnng winter! 

Now we should remind you all that Technically, the Long John Index doesn't turn off. You will see a tweet or post from time to time, as WINTER doesn't technically turn off! You just won't see any regular posts or tweets! By law, we have to make way for folks at the UV Index ( two Index's can't occupy the same space. It's science.)

We have to give a big thanks to everyone who made this Winter Season so amazing! We had a lot of wonderful things happen! We darn near doubled our Twitter Followers, made some new friends on Facebook. We also got to talk to some of our pals at Various CBC's and Featured on the Weather Network . Not only that, we had a wonderful fan knit us some Mittens! Congratulations to Jenny and Sudbury and Erin from Edmonton! We will have your mittens in the mail soon!

The 2013 - 2014 Winter Season will be here before we all know it and we already have some changes planned! Re-vamped website for sure, and some other secret secret ideas!

On behalf of everyone here at the Long John Index, thank you for all your Tweets, Toque Purchases, Facebook Comments and Emails. It's great to be a part of a community of wacky weather nerds.

Keep warm, and we will talk to you soon,

Staff and Lowly Interns,

Long John Index Service of Canada
