You could be forgiven for being confused.
We were dreaming of a white Christmas - which we got - a couple of days ago. And now, it feels like spring.
After enduring two major snowstorms and temperatures in the -18C range a week ago, the mercury swung almost 30 degrees in the other direction to 10C Saturday to beat the all-time record of 9.4C set back in 1949.
Sunday's high is also expected to fall in that range, although temperatures will cool down by the start of the work week.
Either way, it's unprecedented for this time of the year, and it will come with a price: rain.
A system from the U.S. has brought with it both warm air and moisture, leading to one of the soggiest December weekends in recent memory. Despite earlier warnings from Environment Canada, it now appears the GTA will escape the worst of it, but will still get as much as 25 millimetres.
But the same front could hit those up north hard and if you live there or are heading in that direction beware - a special advisory remains in place for northern Lake Huron through the Bruce Peninsula and Muskoka to the Algonquin area.
Those locales could receive up to 70 mm and remain under a rare December rainfall warning, with flooding a real possibility, much as it is in the GTA.
"The city's actively patrolling the streets should we come across any ponding or excessive flooding we're taking immediate action," promised Myles Currie, Transportation Services. "We're also asking citizens to clear any catch basins along the foot of their property to help keep water flowing."
The Toro
nto And Region Conservation Authority warns you to keep kids and pets away from creeks, rivers and streams, which will present a major hazard for those who get too close to their banks.
"The waters in the rivers and streams are flowing high," confirmed TRCA rep Larian Farrell. "We just advise people to stay well back from the creeks at all times because the water is very powerful."
That much was proven true in the west end, where a roof collapsed on a building near Dufferin and St. Clair.
"It looks like the drains were blocked on the roof," explained Darin Smith of Belfor Restorations. "The water found its way through ... and caved in the drywall."
We'll be back to a high of just 2C by Monday, so enjoy your brief vacation from winter while it lasts.
