Midwinter spring in #Toronto

Maybe it was all the boats displayed at the @TorontoBoatShow scaring away winter but spring is in the air as we hit the midpoint of January in Ontario. There was even a little blue skies on Saturday, January 12, 2013.
The average high temperature for January is a blistering -1.1 degrees Celsius and this weekend we have been in double digits above freezing. Saturday's high was 14.6 degrees, Sunday was 13 and no one brought up wind chill. At Harbourfront the Natrel Rink, above, was full of skaters taking advantage of the warm day.
At Nathan Phillips Square the ice surface was covered in a layer of water.

Meanwhile, back at the lake....
Lake Ontario in the inner harbour remains free of ice and the reflection of colourful kayaks in the waves is a bright and welcome sight.
