You won't like it Steve. Best to stay in Calgary. It'll be spring soon (OK, maybe by June).

As long as it is limited to Oahu that's OK.

We'll be on the Big Island getting gassed by SO2 from the Volcano. :eek::eek:

I see the park reopened today so it's safe for now. :thumbup:

I thought you meant permanently!

Can't wait to see the photos when you get back - unless you decide to stay there! In which case you can still post the photos.

Ditto! We're 35 mins north of downtown Calgary - and barely a flake - I don't get it. Well actually, I'm glad we didn't get it ;)

Hubby phoned me from work about 8.30 this morning giving all the gory details (bet he's had a busy day :sneaky: ) - how weird - I'd just walked the dog and there was about an inch on the ground in Cochrane. My neighbour got half way down Sarcee Trail and gave up and came home.

Hawaii ? - have fun Steve - you lucky (insert impolite word here) ...... ! :D

By the by you are 35 minutes northwest of Calgary, Airdrie is north and you wouldn't want to live there would you?:p;):D

True - northwest then - I was just following up Lisa's comments, who was south of the great city - just being lazy I guess ;)

Isn't this the most severe snow you've had all winter...every picture/weather forecast I've seen for Calgary this winter has been sunny and above freezing most of the time.

Calgal Apr 10th 2008 1:18 pm

Re: That's it we're leaving!!!!
 
It's lovely here at the mo, sunshine and no white stuff at all - just west of the city....

what a weird weather day it's been though....

dawnzocalgary Apr 10th 2008 1:20 pm

Re: That's it we're leaving!!!!
 
Thanks for makin us all so jealous Steve_P!!

I took some pics of Bow Trail this morning on my 2 hour journey to the office......it was a parking lot with some buses stopped sideways in the middle of the road, no-one could get up the hill because it was so slippery - was anyone stuck in that???

I actually went straight online as soon as i got to work to check out holidays, anything but this would be great right now!

Have Fun Steve

Steve_P Apr 10th 2008 3:25 pm
