a bitter minus 36.
bloody t shirt weather in calgary this winter!!!!!

thats so funny

I think it was last winter when we skiing at Sunshine one day .... we were eating lunch in the lodge, .....and the snow came most of the way to the top of the windows, ..... when suddenly a small movement caught our eye.

A little mouse was running up the window on the outside, some 2 foot under the snow! We watched in fascination as it run up and down and along the window ledge. We supposed at the time that it was presumably comparatively warm at that depth, and it probably got some warmth from the building as well. (probably a food source too) We all thought it was cool, but I guess I see how mice could actually take advantage of the deep snow covering for protection from predators, as well as insulation...

Severe sense of humour failure this morning

You and me both Anne....We came back from a couple of nights in Banff to almost no snow....Yay...we foolishly thought - hubby even making noises about taking the snow tyres off...Looked out two hours or so later to a blizzard which still shows no sign of stopping!!!

Thanks for the weather info Steve...I have been wondering why this winter seems to be worse than any of the others I have been through here...Now I know it actually is!!

No kidding.

Just talked with someone out in Cochrane, about 18" so far is what they said.

We have about 10" here in the city. :curse::curse:

Poor Mrs_P just came in from shovelling.

Just cruel really! Had just got used to walking dogs in air that was vaguely warm, along paths that had no snow, along roads where you see both kerbs.

Had dared to dream of spring, and colour and summer-like activities. Silly me - I should know better

Pooh

Playing basket ball in the garden yesterday in brilliant sunshine. Took first photo to compare with next day as I had read about a winter storm coming through! It hasnt stopped snowing here all morning and we must have well over a foot by now Really thought we were through the worst (), but wishful thinking really :curse:

hmmm ... yes.

Yesterday morning I was sitting on my deck with the cats, reading my book in the sunshine and feeling HOT!

Temperature fell like a stone during the afternoon. And this morning I dug through a drift to my front door that came well over my knees!

this ******* snow.....................i've only just got the car back from the body shop because of a winter collision!! well it was a coyote and took out most of the front bumper!! i made sure the bugger paid by running over it at least 3 times tho....lol

Just cleared the drive. Holy moly, that was heavy. Who needs gym when you live in Alberta? I've got steam coming off me

Prepare for another load (10 to 20cms) to come Saturday night and Sunday morning. :curse::curse::curse:

Is winter never coming to an end? Have been feeling really miserable and down of late with various things happening/not happening and the prospect of moving more snow feels like the last straw.

Expecting snow here Sunday, doubt it will last long though considering it was +16 today....

I'll get my coat

I'll hold it for you while you put it on.

You'll be there a while, shouldn't need it again now until November....
