I&#8217;m not just talking for a few days in a row &#8211; I mean for most of December and up until this past Sunday we&#8217;ve had temperatures day and night above 0 Celsius (that&#8217;s 32 F for you American Folks).  Days often reaching 8 to 10 c.  Quite pleasant.  <\/p>\n<p>In fact so nice that I don&#8217;t think my roses have fully gone dormant.  They have little red nubs of new stems and branches growing on them.  That happened last year as well, but in February after a very cold January. <\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>The person who left the nasty comment didn&#8217;t bother to leave a website, and the email doesn&#8217;t look real either.  They took it upon themselves to call me a stupid idiot who shouldn&#8217;t talk about things that I know nothing of saying that Toronto&#8217;s average temperature is -1.7 C during the day and -6 at night and that warm days are not unheard of.<\/p>\n<p>Well you know what?  It&#8217;s true that warm days are not unheard of in December, January, February and or March.  But long stretches, a whole month of warm weather when it should be below zero, is unheard of. Listen to the news.  This is the warmest winter we&#8217;ve ever had.  As a gardener I pay quite a bit of attention to the weather year round. <\/p>\n<p>To my unknown commenter. I do know what I speak of. I&#8217;ve lived here for 23 years.  Were you having a bad day or something?  Why get so riled up and call someone an idiot over weather?  I&#8217;d hate to think of how you might act or what you&#8217;d say over something much more worthy of getting angry over.   <\/p>\n<p>Get a life. <\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>Oh and thanks for breaking me into the flames and mean comments &#8211; that&#8217;s the first really mean comment I&#8217;ve received on uhm &#8230; oh the 8 blogs that I write for or maintain.
