spring weather may soon get it.However, it’s not shaping up to be the warm weather many may be craving this time of year, says Global News’ chief meteorologist.“Going forward, I am predicting quite a bit of chilly air that’s going to linger even into the month of May,” said Anthony Farnell.

Rural Manitoba areas blasted by spring snow “The fact that there is so much snowcover in the Prairies, it tends to refrigerate the air above it and can prolong winter conditions even here in the Great Lakes, even in areas that don’t have snow on the ground.”It has felt cold in parts of Canada since the spring equinox on March 20, Farnell said.

While he cites the lingering cold air as a reason why, part of it has also been due to brisk winds that have played out recently across the country.On Good Friday, high winds blew into Quebec and Ontario, causing more than 215,000 Canadians to lose power.

Winds gusted up to 70 km/h in some communities.On Saturday in British Columbia, an icy cold air mass hovering over the province shattered minimum temperature records, some more than 100 years old.

18-year-old drums for Pearl Jam as Matt Cameron continues COVID recovery
Pearl Jam were joined on drums by an 18-year-old at their Oakland, California show this weekend – see footage below.The Seattle legends’ drummer Matt Cameron is out of action on the band’s current tour after testing positive for COVID, so they’ve been enlisting stand-in drummers.Pearl Jam were joined by a fan on drums at their Oakland show on Thursday (May 12), with touring member and former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Josh Klinghoffer also stepping in on drumming duties for a series of tracks including Neil Young’s ‘Rockin’ In The Free World’, ‘Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town’, ‘Why Go’ and ‘Corduroy’.With Cameron still isolating, Saturday’s (May 14) show also saw the band recruit another stand-in drummer for a song.Kai Neukermans joined the band for 2013 song ‘Mind Your Manners’, and told the San Fransisco Chronicle that, after hearing that Cameron was unavailable to play the show, he texted Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder‘s daughter Olivia, who he had met on a previous occasion.He was then invited to send a video of him drumming along to a Pearl Jam track, which he skipped school to do, and ended up on stage at the Oakland Arena.Fan-shot footage sees Vedder telling the crowd during the show: “Everybody this is Kai; Kai this is everybody! You’re leading the band, brother.”See footage below.Last week, Pearl Jam honoured Foo Fighters’ late drummer Taylor Hawkins during their LA concert at The Forum by performing 2005 song ‘Cold Day In The Sun’.The original version of the track featured Hawkins on lead vocals and, for the Seattle band’s performance of it, Cameron took on singing duties.Cameron and Hawkins previously worked together in the band Nighttime Boogie Association, releasing two songs together
