Not Your Typical January 3rd in Saskatchewan

Copyright 2006, Robert Weitzel - Regina, Saskatchewan - 01/03/07 - Splish Splash I was takin' a... January drive in Regina. Not a song drivers usually get to sing in Saskatchewan at this time of year. Temperatures rose to near record levels today and many people tried to get out and enjoy it. Walking the streets of the prairie provinces in January usually involves wool socks, long-johns, two shirts and a parka. Today there were tee-shirts. The mercury reached 3 degrees celcius in the late afternoon. The arctic air is scheduled to return next week.
