Severe weather in the east while West Coast sees spring temperatures

Huge weather differences across Canada over the weekend saw Canadians out in all types of gear to train for upcoming spring races.

Much of B.C. saw double-digit temperatures above freezing, while Ontario experienced extreme cold warnings and the East Coast continued to see heavy snowfall.

There is no such thing as cold weather! Sunny 7k run! 🙂 #dresswarm #runchat #canada #2strong4winter pic.twitter.com/dYSG1vtWwt

Many in Ontario and Quebec bundled up to run and race temperatures of -40 and colder with windchill.

Toronto’s Night Terrors took advantage of the cold weather to run inside, sort of.
