cold and colder

Well old man winter reared his ugly mug over the last few days. Calgary didnt get hit as hard as they thought we would but none the less it was a wild one. Lucky me worked last night and when I left for work at 2:20p it was a slightly cool - 35deg c outside with the windchill ( for you in the US thats -31F) however, at 11:30p when I came home, its was a very chilly -42deg c (-43F for my us friends ) . However for my parents who live in Saskatoon (90mins from where I moved from ) it was very very bad. The temperatures there were the same, but it was so bad that they acutallu shut the entire city down. The closed the airport, shutdown the main highways to both Edmonton (3hrs north of me) and and Calgary. From what the drivers and the news have been saying, the entire province of Saskatchewan was shut down. Todays not so bad but the wind is making things nippy but the warming trend will get her soon. They are saying +5deg c (41F ) by next tuesday, but we shall see.

On another note, I have added a floder to my photo album today with pictures that I took today while out and about. There are some very nice shots of the mountians covered in snow. Take a look at http://new.photos.yahoo.com/gopherboy316
