•Unsettled Sunday |
After a day of ice pellets and brilliant sunshine, Toronto faces an evening of potential killing frost. Those hardy enough to have planted their gardens had better cover the beds and if possible bring potted plants inside. Environment Canada says below-zero temperatures will hit the region Sunday night as a cold air mass moves across the area. Windy conditions will mean that ice crystals forming on the ground will only be patchy, but plants could still be harmed as the ground temperature hits the freezing mark late in the evening or by midnight. Tomorrow skies are expected to clear but Monday night is also expected to bring a severe frost that will kill any plants in the ground outside. Sensitive plants should either be brought indoors or covered up before Sunday evening when the frost is expected to hit. Picture shows the view north on Yonge St. from Davisville Ave. about noon Sunday revealing a sky that is ready to do anything. It had just dumped a three-minute rain and iice torrent. The day has seen brilliant sun and nasty wind whipped rain.

A speeding wall of ice has thundered across Lake Dauphin about 300 kilometres north of Winnipeg and smashed into a community of 20 cottages. Residents are stunned by the surprise occurrence and the damage that has been done. Many can hardly believe that tons of ice could have moved so quickly and arrived without any warning. The Deputy Reeve of Ochre Lake has told the CBC that many people were watching hockey in their living rooms when they felt the house shake and heard their decks splintering into junk. A woman recounts looking outside around dinner and seeing the ice wall coming rapidly at her home. She shouted to her husband to get out and followed him in making an escape. The CBC report linked here says locals recall this type of thing only once before in living memory — that was in the 1960s. No one was injured in the ice onslaught. See video.
