Are you ING KIDDING ME?!
Well, just when I had thought environment Canada was going to give us all the slip and go "bahaha April Fools!", I check the weather:
Pulse24.com
CBC's Forcast supports....
Weather.ca Also supports
Looking around at the weather outside, I am skeptical about this.
After several days of blue skies, mild temperatures and lots of sunshine, Environment Canada has issued a winter storm watch for southern Ontario.
Don’t expect to scroll down and read “April Fool’s Day!” – unfortunately, it’s not a joke.
Just when you pulled your saucy spring jacket out of the closet and packed away your clumsy winter boots, it looks as though Old Man Winter is planning to make another appearance.
Forecasters are calling for 10 to 15 centimetres of snow north of a line from Woodstock to north Toronto and east of Ottawa. The heavy, white precipitation is expected to start falling Saturday morning and will continue through until Sunday when it’s expected to mix with rain, which could make for some treacherous driving conditions.
The temperature is expected to dip down to two degrees Celsius Saturday and will go up to 5-C Sunday afternoon.
Areas southeast of that line will get rain, and lots of it – 25 millimetres are expected to fall in that area by Sunday morning and some parts of southwestern Ontario will see 50 millimetres. And all of this terrible weather will be accompanied by winds blowing between 50 and 80 kilometres an hour.

yeah, i just saw that winter storm watch warning on environment canada's web page and at first i thought it was an april fool's joke, but then i figured that a government site would never do something like that (imagine the lawsuits) so i guess it's true ...
