Ice pellets falling and melting the moment they land on the car. Quickly turned back into rain. No snowstorm, but it’ll be coming sooner rather than later. While in many places, Labour Day is the last weekend of summer, apparently Saskatchewan takes it a lot more seriously. Very good odds I’ll be putting snow tires on by the first week of October.

Is it the last day of summer? That never occured to me.

Here in Canada it is. It’s the last long weekend before school starts up.

Same in New England, summer is 8 weeks.

I’ve been in school for going on 5 weeks now like most people down here. I wonder how much of that has to do with your shorter warm season? It kind of doesn’t matter too much as you’ll still be in school for quite a while during the “good” warm seasons down here.

Very likely. We also get out at the end of June (end of April for universities).

I think the primary schools usually get out very early June and colleges get out about the same difference earlier.
