A lot of photos shared with us this week showed the (hopefully!) last bout of winter weather for the season, so here are some of our favourites.]
This is a pleasing gallery showing ice, snow, places and the critters of Canada.
See below for access to an explanation of "Sheila's Brush".

[Newfoundland is hunkering down for a vicious spring storm this weekend, as an incoming weather system promises to ignore the calendar and dump freezing rain and snow across the island.
Following days of balmy temperatures hitting the teens, some regions are anticipating the incoming weather system with contempt and disappointment.
But a late-March storm is far from unprecedented in the North Atlantic: in fact, it's so familiar, it even has its own special name.
Enter "Sheila's Brush," a moniker for the unseasonal blast of snow and wind suffered by Newfoundlanders and Labradorians after St. Patrick's Day.]

and stayed to become educated on regional language.
