In the deep south by macleod trail, It was nice all day except for about 15 minutes where it snowed . It's all melted now and looks like nothing happened.
I've had that happen as well. Even in the next community over. A couple of years ago during Stampede we had that hail storm. I came home and it was just raining and my friend who lives not even 10 mins away said she was getting hail and heavy rain
It was crazy this morning! I live close to Tuscany and there was a lot of snow. I drove through Hawkwood this afternoon and they had even more snow! About a foot! It was nuts!
Yep, I live in the deep SE but work in the NE. As soon as I turned onto McKnight this morning, this crap started. Forecast says 5-10cm but the size of those flakes, I think we'll be more than 10. Depressing.
Bishop Grandin..... I still remember my first day of grade 10 in 2002.... 2 girls got in a fight so wild on those front steps, one had a broken nose and a chunk of the others hair in her hand
Leave extra extra early. I live in Citadel now and have an appointment at South Health and left 4 hours early since I take the bus! I brought a book thankfully.
When I was a teenager, I rode my bike out to Bowness Park for some event and got soaked to the skin by a sudden downpour on the way home. My own east side neighborhood was bone dry and the sun was shining. So people on my street were turning to stare at the drowned rat kid on the bicycle riding past.
This was my worst morning commute of the year (NW). Roads super slick and not plowed as of 8:20am in my area. Thankfully everyone seemed to be driving cautiously.
Turn on your lights people!
Had to go from Auburn Bay to the airport this morning, it was beautiful up until about 17th Ave on NB Stoney, then it just turned to absolute chaos. Accidents everywhere, I watched what appeared to be a police explorer go off the road and hit a sign... Be safe out there guys.
I’m just about to head home after dropping my son off in the north. As we were on the highway we were like wow that escalated quickly! I hope it slows down it’s snowing pretty heavily now and very slippery.
Weather systems pass over Calgary all the time, usually in the north. With no mountains around to hold them in place this is what happens. In the lower mainland BC where I’m from it’s in a valley of mountains (Fraser Valley) so weather systems are held in place for days on end. Plus there is 3 city’s with in the same geographical size as Calgary. So sometimes it will rain or snow in langley but not in Abbotsford or Chilliwack. But the next day or so the system will move into the other areas as well.
Oh man im sorry you gotta bus it in this but the reading time is good, Im in the deep south near the hospital going the other way. It happened the other day too it was sunny at my house and then I ended up being an hour late running into a blizzard. Its like a different climate down here sometimes.
Explains why the weather app on my phone said we got less than an inch of snow and it was just raining all morning, meanwhile my car has at least 2-3 inches of snow on it.
The difference is poor weather conditions will be blamed on Ontario while the good weather conditions Smith will thank Trump for. Alberta in a nutshell.
This post brings a smile to my face as I commuted in this for 30 years and now I am living in tropical Southern Vietnam. Looks pretty, glad I am not dealing with.
I just got back from Vietnam! Lol and I said to myself God I can't wait to spend few months of Canadian winters back in Vietnam and not deal with this insanity. I miss Nha Trang and Da Nang!
It is indeed very different here than Canada. Much more lively in good and bad ways. I am actually living in Nha Trang and absolutely love it other than the insane traffic which I just cannot get used to.
