Residents react to cooler than normal spring weather

We’re in the middle of a cold and dreary stretch of spring right now – and we are not alone.

Several parts of the country are dealing with single digit lows and overnight frost.

For many at Springbank Park in London on Friday, the chill of May was summed up in one way:

“A little wet, little chilly, and very damp and cold. I don’t like it,” said Betty Warwick.

“So it’s a bit depressing after a while. I like the sun. It’s cheery, you know, you feel better when it’s sunny out,” added Valarie Hurst.

Meanwhile, others showed optimism when it comes to the forecast.

“I think it’s good for nature. It’s good for the grass, it’s good for our flowers, and it’s good for our bodies,” said Christel Mikelic.

Luckily, after a cool and slightly rainy weekend, temperatures will be rising next week.
