Spring? Spring who? Canada's weather forecast is predicting that on Tuesday, April 19, every single major Canadian city, from coast to coast, will have colder temperatures than normal. In fact, some will be up to 15 degrees colder than the usual temperature at this time of the year, according to The Weather Network.

Just when you thought nice weather was starting to make an appearance, wintry conditions are set to return.

After this spike in cold weather on Tuesday, parts of Canada will see a gradual recovery.

Eastern Canada, which has been pummelled by cold and snowy weather this winter, is expected to see more days of cold throughout April.

The dip in temperatures has a few sources. Eastern Canada's cold weather is a product of the blizzard that hit the prairies last week, covering a lot of Saskatchewan, Manitoba and parts of Ontario with over a foot of snow.

On the West Coast, the colder weather is a product of Typhoon Malakas. Its remnants are hitting B.C. and are expected to move into the Prairies over the next few days, sending in cold weather.

But hopefully, by the end of April, we can say goodbye to all the cold and the snow and say hello to summer.

After the winter the country has had, it really feels like we've done our part and suffered through some heavy snowfall, whether you live in B.C., the Prairies, Ontario, Quebec or Atlantic Canada.
