Was watching the new today and just can't believe the weather in Alberta!!! Gee I thought it was the middle of April:yuck: We had a little bit of snow yesturday and my DH screamed Merry Christmas when he got up.
 
yuckyI live North of Edmonton. I had to meet with a customer to drop off some PC products for her and the closer we got to EDM the worse it got! We haven't had ANYTHING like Southern AB is getting, though.

I'm thinking of those who are gettin' hit hard - this SUCKS....absolutely RIDICULOUS!!! Sadness.....
 
I live just outside of Medicine Hat AB, yesterday I had to shovel three feet of snow off the deck so my Beagles could get outside. We spent a couple of hours digging out my PT Cruiser so I could go to work today. Thats how much we got in Southern AB. Merry Spring.

Yuk! and good luck. Vancouver Island received some snow yesturday and so did the Kootney's. It's been chilly here but the snow that fell in the morning didn't stay thank goodness.
 
Let it snow!I live in Calgary, had a show in Innisfail (1.5 hours away). made it though, and had a great show!!! Funny though, the side walk was shoveled when I arrived, and when I left 3.5 hours later, I had to carry my rolling case through the snow as so much had built up I couldn't pull it through!:yuck:

I want to give my thanks to the guys in the black trucks who let me follow them both on the way up and back! You made the trip much easier. :D

Great show in any case!!!!:sing:
 
we're not bad, so I hearI don't like the snow we are getting - but I hear the SK/AB border is getting hit the worst! I will have to watch the News and Weather at noon.
