Even though I wasn't able to measure even half a centimetre of snow this morning, waking up and seeing your backyard covered white still qualifies as the Fassnacht storm.
This is the name our office has for the snow storm that comes in late March or early April after all of the snow from the winter has melted. It is named after a former student who always said to watch out for that last storm.

Sorry that this has nothing to do with this post. However, I just think it's noteworthy just how different the Weather Network and Environment Canada forecasts for Saturday and Sunday are. Not the first time, of course, but they seldom vary THAT much, considering it's merely 4-5 days away.
Unfortunately forecasts for 4-5 days out change very quickly so I'm not exactly sure how much the forecasts were different when you looked at them.
On Tuesday morning (as I write this) EC had highs of 10 and 9 while TWN had highs of 8 and 9. So I'm guessing somebody changed their forecast because those are pretty close.
I did notice that 570 News only has a high of 4 for Saturday.
These big differences are usually the result of a system coming through and depending on if it goes a bit north or south it could change the temperature by 5 degrees.
Lets just hope this IS the 'last' storm!!!
I think your Fassnacht has yet to be Fassnacht-ed
