snow in April

It has now snowed every day since April Fools Day – coincidence? There was enough that we had to shovel the drive, on Monday.

I realize that it's "polar vortex", but I've been amazed at all of the easterly wind we've had since I came back to Toronto. The weather has definitely changed – wetter, colder, and less stable. One of my favorite little weather sites is Time and Date's historic weather record. And the news has been grim: instead of heating up as the day went on, on Monday it stayed at -6°; yesterday, we saw some sun but the wind never let up; today, it's once again snowing like February. Bleah.

I'd see the publicity guy come on the set and I'd go hide in the rafters. The crew would be like, ‘I haven't seen him.' And then they'd leave and I'd go back to work. Because that's what's fun: the doing, not the talking.
