Prairie Snow Storm

[Happytrails]

Here in east central Alta we are getting a doozy of a storm today. Blowing snow with winds over 40 km, vis from 100 ft to 100 yards all day with temps around -12. Its a bit of a tester for the cattle folk. Hope you are all OK and tomorrow is better. HT

Here in northern Alberta it was nice....no wind sunny and about - 18 all day...for January thats a gooder. Lets make this the first winter with no -40

Full meal deal blizzard going on south of Calgary. A line of pickups are stuck in the middle of the road a mile down the road. None of us can get there from either side. They are in a house that is for sale camping out. A good night to stay home. Cows are not likely impressed. Morning is going to be entertaining.

Looking pretty tough here too after the wind got up - forecast is for much the same tomorrow. I always think it's better to get the winter in the winter rather than in the spring or early summer though ;o)

You guys made me jump to the weather network pretty fast! They're calling for minus 14 with a 5km wind today. Whew! We're making up for that good luck by the bad luck of a Hubby with the flu.

Wanna trade?

Kato...it sounds like your timing is right on. It has cleared up some here but is still drifting with about a 35 km/hr breeze and -15c. We've got a lot of digging out to do. Still want to trade? HT

Spent the day digging ourselves out and now mobile around yard to calves, cows and throughout feedyard. Now can get to the highway.

Planning on taking in the Crop Show in Saskatoon Tues and Wed. Will meet up with the CAEPLA team at their booth. In Saskatchewan 2011 is awareness of a new Sask Property Rights Act. Some of the CAEPLA team heading to Alberta to attend meetings that Keith Wilson speaking at.

Quite a dump of snow.
