Winter 2026

Wind Is Bound To Change
Larry Gatlin & The Gatlin Brothers


I am an expert show shoveler.
A a kid we needed to get that snow off the pond or rink as fast as possible.
So we could play hockey.

So we hated those warm Chinook Winds.
They melted the ice.

Definition:
A Chinook wind is a warm dry wind that comes over the Rocky Mountains
from the West and sweeps Eastward, raising temperatures.
These winds cause rapid temperatures increases.

Yesterday it was 16 degrees Celsius (60.8 Fahrenheit) here.
That’s right, while people are being murdered by Winter Storm Fern
we are walking around in light jackets and T-shirts.
And it’s been this way for 2 weeks now!!!
With a Weather forecast of at least another week.
Today’s Forcast: 11 degrees Celsius (51.8 Fahrenheit).
Incredible.

Right now we are getting what they call
a False Spring.
The Farmers are really worried …

Hope you will be well.

 

Extreme Weather Events Everywhere

Here in Alberta we surely know about extreme Weather events.
We are not immune.

We get snow storms; blizzards; occasional tornados; hail storms;
rain storms; forest fires; floods; … and more ???
So when we see what so many are dealing with right now across this continent, we have great sympathy and compassion for those suffering
under such things. And in this age of climate change,
things seem to be become more extreme and last longer.
Our hearts and best wishes go to you who are being affected.
And we just hope this isn’t the New Normal … ?
We hope you will be well.
