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

-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. 
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
Might go a different way!

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.
