The Inevitable

Choose your poison, C or F, it's just gonna be damn cold!

Going down...

Just in time for the weekend, of course.

Brrrr

That's C on the left and F on the right.  Wind chill on the way to work was reported as -49 C

Actually not complaining; it's been a very mild winter until right about now...

A weather report

It's been a while since we've had a local weather report from the Distant Librarian.  don't take this as any kind of complaint, 'cause up until about a week ago it's been positively balmy up here.  This is the place you're going to want to be when global warming really hits!  But right now, the report in one word is: Cold.  Here you go in Celsius and Fahrenheit:

It's coming...

Too busy to blog about anything substantial these days, but I needed to pop on and note that flurries were spotted in the air this AM.  Mark the date - September 19, first "snowfall"...  Might try a linkdump later in the week.  Until then...

All clear here...

I hereby do solemny swear to abstain from complaining about the weather in Calgary for the rest of the month.  I went to grad school in Buffalo and only had to deal with a couple of big winter storms.  Nothing this early.  Buffalo was hit overnight with as much as two feet of snow by some reports.  Wet lake-effect snow.  Yuck.  Here's a news page, and here are (currently) 268 pictures uploaded to Flickr. 

Happy Friday the 13th, y'all

Yay, no snow down here

Well so far the forecasters have been wrong; while it's damn chilly and we did get rain all night, so far there's no snow here in Calgary.  Took a peek at the webcams on the ski hills in Banff, and they did indeed get some snow.  You know what though?  I forget that of course it's actually quite pretty:

That one was taken at 7:50 this AM at the Banff Gondola.

The all-important end-of-Summer weather update

Gosh it was a nice day today.  Sure wish it was going to last.  Here's the forecast for the next few days, presented in both C and F for your horror:

I'm not sure what that icon for Saturday is - it's either ghosts or blowing snow.  Either way... shudder.
