Spring is Here
The snow has pretty much disappeared from sight. The rain has been paying us frequent visits; showering the ground generously to allow plant growth. The grass is green, the sky is blue, and the water is clear. Spring is here! Or rather, summer is near! The weather was scorching hot at 30°C yesterday!
I had the opportunity to walk around the city for some photo shooting for the past two weeks or so. It’s great for not having to worry about the cold chilly winter that freezes my hands when exposed to the air…
Spanning across Saint John River, the 0.6 km Walking Bridge (old train bridge) connects the North and South sides of Fredericton.
The Christ Church Cathedral in downtown Fredericton.
A budding plant.
Fallen pine cones.
What are the consequences of the arrival of spring? Flooding is one of them!! I’m not trying to be pessimistic, but it’s true that it happens from year to year. The flooding last year was quite bad. What about this year? The walking trail is flooded, and half of the park bench is immersed in water. Have a look…
The rising water level of the river resulted from heavy downpour and melted snow/ice chunks accumulated from the winter.

Ai Shiang,
Don’t worry. You sure will :) Is weather getting cold in Sydney?

It’s been a bit cold these 2 days. Some kind of sudden cold snap. It’s about 11-14°C I think. They forecast tomorrow will be 20°C. It’s a bit crazy. Some inland places got 2°C overnight. I know that sounds alright compare to Canada. I don’t quite like the chill, sometime it gives me headache.

Ai Shiang,
It sounded like the current weather here. The weather overnight can go below freezing point. It’s very similar to the fall weather, except we get lots of rain in the spring. Please correct me if I’m wrong, Sydney is probably more humid than Canada. It feels colder in places with higher humidity, at the same temperature.
How long does the winter last by the way? Take it easy…

Adeline,
You might be right by the sounds of thing. It’s not that cold in Sydney to some people compare to Melbourne. Melbourne and anything south are more humid. It’s always colder there and rains a bit more.
The only cold months will probably last 4 months in Sydney. I believe in inland it lasts longer.
