Thousands take part in Gaudreau Family 5K walk and run in honor of brothers John and Matthew
SEWELL, N.J. (AP) — A few days after brothers John and Matthew Gaudreau died when they were struck by a driver while riding bicycles on the eve of their sister Katie's wedding, family friends were visiting parents Guy and Jane at their home during a rainstorm. Looking outside after the skies cleared, they saw a double rainbow that brought them some momentary peace. Since then, Jane Gaudreau had not gotten any signs she attributed to her sons, so she sat in their room Friday and asked them for some divine intervention to clear out bad weather in time for an event to honor their legacies. After a brief scare of a tornado watch the night before, a rainbow appeared Saturday morning about an hour before the sun came out for the inaugural Gaudreau Family 5K Walk/Run and Family Day.

Street sweeping, parking ban ends Friday evening
Trucks are seen in an Edmonton neighbourhood cleaning the streets. (Supplied) The City of Edmonton says spring street sweeping and the residential parking ban will come to an end Friday at 5 p.m. Crews cleaned more than 6,200 kilometres of roadways, bike lanes and major pathways since starting the sweep on April 14. 'Due to an increase in the number of snow events and freeze/thaw cycles in the region during the winter season, 230 per cent more traction material was applied to roadways and active pathways,' said the city in a Thursday statement. 'This resulted in a larger amount of debris on the roadways, requiring more passes and slower speeds during spring street sweeping.' Crews will continue to respond to notifications in areas requiring further sweeping. Residents are encouraged to call 311 to report areas with heightened levels of debris. Regular weekly sweeps will be conducted in business improvement areas and other high-speed roadways throughout the season.

Extreme cold to relent by end of week, warmer temps on the way for Sask.
Nearly all of Saskatchewan was under an extreme cold warning Monday morning, with wind chill values plunging to near –40, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). It's abnormally cold for this time of year says Stephen Berg, a meteorologist with ECCC. "It looks like for the western part of Saskatchewan by Tuesday night, there would be a rising temperature trend for Tuesday night into Wednesday. So for Saskatoon itself, the temperature will go from about –31 tomorrow till –21 on Wednesday," Berg said. He says the dramatic temperature swing from record lows to above freezing within just a few days is unusual but not unheard of in the Prairies. "You're getting a Arctic air mass, and then that gets replaced by a much more southerly air mass," he said, so the –40 temperatures will be replaced with "those above zero temperatures in the winter, which are quite a bit above normal." He said that normals for this time of year are a high around –5 and a low around –15.

However, relief is on the way. "Wednesday [will] basically be the end of the extreme cold for western Saskatchewan. Eastern Saskatchewan might see extreme cold continue into Thursday morning, but then that will push eastward and be replaced by the warmth," said. He said that there are no more extreme cold warnings are expected for the next couple of weeks. Berg advises those commuting to be cautious, carry a survival kit, and ensure their vehicle has an emergency blanket and as temperatures warm, ice conditions could still pose a risk on the roads. Until the cold snap officially ends, he urges people to limit outdoor exposure. He says those who must be outside should take frequent breaks to avoid frostbite, which can happen within minutes.
