Spring may have already officially begun, but a new report says the beginning of April will continue to feel more like winter this year.
An April seasonal forecast from the Weather Network shows Canadians are still experiencing cooler than normal temperatures after feeling spring-like days in the middle of winter.
April, the report says, is a "fickle month," sometimes giving Canadians a taste of summer, and other times delivering more winter-like snowstorms.

"Spring is off to a rather sluggish start across most of Canada," the report reads. "Most Canadian springs actually start this way, but it seems that many are feeling the slow start more so this year."

"Across Atlantic Canada, we expect that changeable temperatures will balance out and return to near normal," the report says.
As the second week of April approaches, cooler air will reach southern Ontario, Quebec and the east coast provinces. The west coast from B.C. to Alberta and parts of Saskatchewan will see temperatures rise during this time.
The cooler-than-normal temperatures are expected to stay in northern Ontario, Manitoba and the prairies in the latter half of April.
"As we look at the big picture for the entire month, April will live up to its reputation of being a fickle month, but colder-than-normal temperatures will be more dominant than the periods of warmer weather across most of Canada," the report reads.
When temperatures drop, the proverbial April showers will become snow, the report says. Northern Ontario and Quebec can expect more "late-winter" storms early in April.
The Weather Network says the differences in temperatures will "contribute to an active storm track" in Ontario and Quebec.
Near-normal rain in B.C. and parts of the Prairies is expected but some northern areas of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba could see below-normal precipitation.
"This is quite a contrast to last year for Manitoba, when the extremely wet conditions resulted in lengthy delays in getting crops planted," the report says.
