Packing, planning, predictions

[redbird]

No matter what Environment Canada is currently saying, it would be stupidly foolish to go up to Montreal in April without my winter coat. Yes, it might not go below 4°C as an overnight low, as predicted through Sunday--in which case, my Spring coat plus cardigan would do--but it might. This makes packing bulkier and more annoying than it otherwise would be, but at least down is light. (I may, however, leave the boots behind, because space may not be finite, but my backpack is.)

Environment Canada's forecast only runs through Sunday, and I'll be there until Tuesday, so it's not just a matter of limited faith in the forecast--though Montreal forecasting seems to be less reliable/more difficult than New York City forecasting.
