On a Dime!

Yesterday was a typical day in southern Alberta, weather wise!

I was working, when I came home for lunch it was sunny, +3 and just a slight breeze out of the west. Carolyn took the kids out for a bike ride on the ridge and she went for a walk, it was a beautiful day. When I left home I seen one of my riding club buddies on the Black & White Trail riding his road bike.

I'm still working the desk at work, so I don't get out very much, especially on the weekends. I went out at about 2 pm and it was overcast and -5.

At 5 pm I went outside again and it was snowing & blowing and the temperature had gone down to -10.

When I left for home at 7 pm it was -18 with blizzard conditions, snow and very windy, right out of the Northwest.

Before I went to bed last night it was -24, the wind was gusting out of the Northwest at 65 km/hr.

When we got up this morning it was -25, -34 with the windchill! We listened to the radio and they advised the city schools were open, the country ones not. The kids' bus driver, Jerry, called and said he wouldn't be doing the route today because of the blizzard, so Carolyn had to make arrangements to drive the kids in.

I'm still waiting for the power outage!

Kinda nice I don't have to venture out in this, I feel sorry for Carolyn and the kids though! The high forcasted for the next couple of days is -29!
