Oh lovely. The forecast for today is a low of -20, with a windchill of -26.

Up to 50cm of snow forecast over the next few days.:(

Re: Snow Report 2008!
 

we have had snow over the last few days and the lowest was 15 below but wind chills are what makes it 26 below, just now its only 10 below 0 and the sun is shining but the winds are the killers when they start

Re: Snow Report 2008!
 

-9 today, with the wind chill, about -14. Not much snow forecast, only about 1cm.......but it's snowed more than that since 6 this morning!!
This is my first winter in Canada, and all the locals love telling me that this year will be the coldest year ever, and my fragile English body wont be able to cope! One guy even told me my nose would fall off if I wasn't careful! hahaha, I love Canadians!

Ooh - proper snow in Calgary right now. Drove daughter into city centre for 10am, not too bad; stopped off at Canadian Tyre for some more Xmas lights, and when I came out 40 mins later - woah - big snow. :blink:

Pootled home carefully - roads not nice - and passed three accidents. Currently about 4 inches on back deck. Still coming down steadily.

Got to drive back into Calgary centre later on to collect daughter - not looking forward to that, if only because to get out of our development is back up a serious hill again :unsure: Might go a different way!

And it isn't letting up as yet!

Re: Snow Report 2008!
 

Two hours to clear the snow today. Four hours if you count the time it took to install the chains on the tractor tyres. Very cold, -10C without the wind chill and an absolutely ferocious wind. I don't think more than a couple of inches fell all weekend but the wind shifted snow from far and wide and dumped it in our lane.

It is in the proper measurement in this country since 1977.

Re: Snow Report 2008!
 

Have you seen the forecast for tonight and the next few days?:ohmy:

I've shovelled in a full-face balaclava.

Re: Snow Report 2008!
 

Easing up now, 14cm (5.5") so far according to the weather office.

Looks like a white Christmas is a good possibility for Calgary this year.

You'll be happy to know that WJBK now shows the temp for their neighbours in Windsor in metric. I am appalled though, obviously ;)

Here's the latest for Calgary...

Re: Snow Report 2008!
 

We had to go out today too... and on our way home at around 3-30 this afternoon we found that Center street was blocked because one of the BRT buses (the bendy ones) had skidded and was sort of jackknifed across the road totally blocking it.... detour via some very very snowy sidestreets, one of which was blocked by yet another bus.

Also several accidents where people had gone off the road
