  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.

  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.

  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?
