Only along the Pacific Coast and in Southern Alberta, where a warm Chinook wind shot temperatures to the 50s was there a warming trend. The be- lated touch of Indian summer sent the mercury to 56 at Cal- gary, a record high. The weather office in Toronto said it's all because of a huge high pressure system with northerly winds on its eastern edge and a southerly flow to the west. Ontri "had snow with the cold. Three to five inches fell on wide sections of the province but the storm curiously missed the populous area near Toronto, Hamilton, London, Barrie and Oshawa. The weather office expected the warm weather to. stay through today in Alberta under a cloud cover. Winnipeg and Edmundston, N.B., were expected to be the cold spots. The forecast low at Winnipeg was 10 below zero and at Edmundston four. below. At the west coast, temperatures of 40 to 48 degrees were the order of the day.
