Friday the 13th brings images of horror and misfortune, which is exactly what residents in Edmonton are experiencing.
The Alberta city woke up to snow and below freezing temperatures Friday morning.
Edmonton reportedly broke a record for the most consecutive days with temperatures at or below 0 C. Thursday night was Alberta鈥檚 capital鈥檚 167th consecutive day of overnight lows below freezing 鈥� from October 29, 2017 to April 13, 2018.
Residents of the city have had just about enough of the cold and snow with many taking to social media demanding spring 鈥� it is April after all.
Now is time to end the misery too. I think this label is sending the weather gods the wrong message. Maybe we should be the FestivalCity instead. Let鈥檚 give it a try. I鈥檓 sick of winter.

Between the weather, the hockey team, and the gas prices... I don't want to live in Edmonton right now.

Environment Canada is calling for more snow starting Sunday night which could continue into Tuesday 鈥� probably something Edmontonians are tired of hearing.
