oh man, you don't want to go to Scarborough (Scarberia).
we have some wind in the forecast locally but not great conditions. A lot of snow melt for snowboarders and then on the lakes it hasn't been enough melt to really smooth out so it's a bit rough.
Forecast in this area is a roller coaster - big warm up and possible rain then quick cold and some snow. I don't mind a good warm and rain and snap freeze, that can make a fast surface. But East wind sucks, gusty and troughs - and swirling back wind.
Here's our local forecast (west of Toronto) - up to +6 and then down to -13 a few days later:

ahhh it's so small I didn't see it at first - good one - the "bear" necessities.
hang on - I'll post a pic you'll like from out on the lake kiting a couple years ago - give me a minute...

okay - here was a shot of the Scorpions when they first came out - sorry it's not a better shot of the kite
