<p>Well Friends, sometimes, winter doesn't know when to quit! Alberta got hammered by a zillion feet of snow over the last couple days, the temperatures dropped, so we sounded the emergency intern recall beacon! The Long John Index is back for a bit! So in honour of this Snownado, we thought we would do a special MARCH ALL REQUEST INDEX! Big thanks to everyone for all the requests!</p>
<p>Long John Index based on project ( and mostly like incorrect) daytime high:</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Good Morning Bonjour Canada!&nbsp;</p>
<p>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!&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.)</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/storm_watch_stories3&amp;stormfile=Is_it_cold_enough_for_long_John_s__13_12_2012">Featured on the Weather Network</a>&nbsp;. 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!</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Keep warm, and we will talk to you soon,</p>
<p>Staff and Lowly Interns,</p>
<p>Long John Index Service of Canada<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span></p>

Pretty much everybody is starting their morning in a Deep Freeze! Thankfully, most cities will experience a pretty big warming throught the day, so your Long John Index of 3, should quickly become a 1.
