Weather extreme enough to shatter records across large swaths of the U.S. is heading our way this weekend, just in time for Mother’s Day. A storm system heading into the Northeast on Friday will smash into the polar vortex as it makes swing down from the Arctic, reported NBC News. This might sock the region in with heavy, wet snow all the way into New England.

Our plane landed in Denver just past midnight. It was April and blizzard season wasn't done yet.

BRITAIN will be hotter than Corfu today as the Bank Holiday weekend is greeted with glorious sunshine. Temperatures are expected to soar up to 78F for VE Day, with the warm spell lasting through tomorrow.

BRITONS saw temperatures climb yesterday into the 20's as many welcomed the early Bank Holiday sunshine, however this weekend a dramatic change will take place as cold Arctic air will sweep snow in.

THE FREEZING plunge in temperatures over the next 24 hours even sparked disbelief from the meteorologist on BBC Breakfast, who warned that Britain could go from its warmest day of the year on Saturday to being hit by snow on Sunday.

TEMPERATURES are to plummet as freezing Polar air descends upon the UK this week bringing an end to the glorious sunshine much of the country experienced on Friday and Saturday.

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds will not be performing their flyover of Waterloo Region and other southern Ontario communities on Saturday due to snowy weather.

The famed Snowbirds were scheduled to fly over parts of Southern Ontario Saturday as part of "Operation Inspiration," but actual snow has grounded those plans for 24 hours.

The polar vortex over Ontario is still bringing us comparatively frigid temperatures and yet another cold temperature record.

The calendar may say May, but that didn't stop Mother Nature from blasting some wintry weather in Muskoka on Friday.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the southwestern area of Manitoba.

In chapter 13, Macafarlane and David Quentin follow the Ridgeway, a track over the chalk downs of Neolithic origin, using cross-country skis. They ski past two great Neolithic sacred sites, Silbury Hill (a giant mound) and Avebury, a giant stone circle that rivals Stonehenge. Macfarlane describes some vivid scenery - black horses against the white snow, a white horse that looks grey against its snowy white background. At the end of the trip, he and David Quentin meet a huge black cat with gold eyes that they are convinced is a panther as they are heading back to the Ridgeway. Since they are in a van and not on skis, they survive to tell the story.

What I found fascinating about the snow chapter is that although Macfarlane is walking over an extremely ancient landscape and he sees animals - hares, horses, buzzards- that have existed in that area for centuries. He also sees hawthorns, ancient bushes that have been used for hedges for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Their red berries not only nourish birds but are supposed to guard witchcraft and evil. Macfarlane does not fully concentrate on this timeless landscape, but instead muses on the career of British painter Eric Ravilious.

Ravilious, who died in WWII, spent much time walking the Downs, which he depicted in his watercolors and woodcuts. He was fascinated by paths, which appear in many of his paintings. I had never heard of him, and searched online to find images of his art. I find his woodcuts to be charming depictions of country scenes- snow, birds on wires - but his paintings to be disquieting due to his choice of color and depiction of light. Macfarlane describes the Down light as a flat light like the light of the polar regions (p.297). Ravilious, who was fascinated by the poles and the extreme north, loved the light and tried to show it in his art. I find the flattening effect to be a little eerie.
