The Weather and Snow Cake…

Published on: Mar 31, 2005

 

It seems that any other year, a number of Wawa (and indeed, all of Northern Ontario) would be praying for the snow to melt and winter to be over!

This year, however, in a drastic change of events they are praying for snow and colder weather. The last three days have seen an incredible amount of snow disappear. Historically the warmest day in March, from years 1971-2004 was in 1990 when the thermometer climed to 18.6C on March 15. On the other end of the thermometer it dropped to -35C on the 8th day in 1982. In the past five years the highest temperature was 5.5C (2001) for the last day of March.

But weather worries aside, if you are interested in having a part in Snow Cake, you are asked to be at the Polish Hall (42 Mission Road, beside ValuMart) anytime from 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. There your photograph will be taken and you will be asked to fill out a form. They do note that all extras will be paid $9.00 an hour. Shooting is planned to commence in and around Wawa from the third of April to about the 23rd. All extras must be over the age of 6 years.

UPDATE: As of 10:30 this morning over 120 photos of interested “extras” have been taken. Added are some pictures taken at the Polish Hall this morning.
