<font size="-1"><font face="Arial">Occasionally, in a weather forecast,
we see numbers quoted as "the normal temperatures for today", "the
normal high for today", etc. These are long-term average temperatures
for a given reporting station, with quite a lot of mathematics applied
to smooth out the daily variations.<br>
<br>
I have a table of these Climate Normals for Shearwater Airport, just
outside Dartmouth. The normal temperatures for today and tomorrow are
the low point of the annual cycle: the normal maximum at Shearwater is
about -1 C and the minimum is -10 C.<br>
<br>
Starting Monday, the normals begin their slow climb back up again, and
we are on our way out of the depths of winter. Can Spring be far away?<br>
