Highs in the low hundreds and lows down to -40 or more, depending on
the year here in the "interlaken" region of south central Ontario.

Over the last week alone we've cone from the high sixties above to
arounz Zero F in a week.

You don't like the weather here? wate a day or two. You DO like the
weather here? Wait 5 minutes, or mabee an hour - - -

Weather here is fairly consistent. Winter is the exception.
Our normal lows are usually in the 30's for the FEW coldest nights.
But, we get these fluke periods every few years where we'll see
several consecutive nights much colder. Our forecast lows the
past few nights were 28, 30 and 32. We actually saw 17, 22 and 30.

A few years back, we had four or five consecutive nights in the
teens (lost three citrus trees in the process).

Summer shows far less day-night variation; maybe 70 or 80
overnight and 110 during the day.

Monsoon is known for most *rapid* temperature changes -- 20-30F
in an hour or so.

Our particular problem is due to local microclimate. We're ~3 degrees
colder, in general, than the folks two blocks south of us. Yet, if
you drove those two blocks, you'd be hard pressed to understand *why*!
