who said that, Steve Harvey?
I don't believe him! Tell to look at the reports again! ::LOL::
Winter officially begins late this evening but with a high of 8 C in Toronto today, it sure does not look and feel like it.
"It's tropical almost," said Environment Canada senior climatologist Dave Phillips on CBC Radio's Metro Morning on Monday.
Phillips says this November and December in Toronto have seen the least amount of snow on record.
Historically, the average yearly temperature is a high of 1 C and a low of -7 C.
"The front end of winter is just missing in action, it's just non-existent," he said.
Toronto Raptors centre Jonas Valanciunas has been cleared to return to practice, the NBA team announced Monday.
Valanciunas has missed 15 games with a broken left hand suffered during a Nov. 20 road game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Valanciunas has made 14 starts this season, averaging 12.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 27.3 minutes. He posted season highs of 21 points and 15 rebounds in the season opener Oct. 28 versus Indiana.
