It's unlikely I'll have to, but I've already contacted the people involved in our personal emergency plan, just in case I need a safe place for 24 dogs in a hurry!

Yikes!!! You can have it back for sure! It is cold, wet and miserable here. It's been quite dry so we can use the moisture, but sounds like you need it more. We're on 5 unfenced acres, but you and the brood are welcome here if you've got to get out.

It's 5 pm. And it is SNOWING!!!!

Huge flakes. Not sticking yet, but if this keeps up as it gets cooler as night falls....

A couple of snow pictures to make you shiver. One shows Sasha outside in snow up to her tummy, note the poor shrubs covered in heavy snow. The other shows the amount of snow piled up on the deck railing.

We had no power from 5 am to 8 am this morning. Hoping it stays on now.

That is so crazy, I'm so used to 4 seasons, I'm not sure what you would have up North. Does it stay cold/snowy most months of the year? I wouldn't be able to live there. Cold is not my thing.

We should be having nice sunny spring weather, but not this year. Many years ago we had snow in Calgary 11 months of the year. Our summers are pretty short, but this much snow at this time of the year is quite strange.

Weird...it stayed green out in Cochrane here, though cold and VERY damp!

Just to give folks some geographical reference, I live about 20 minutes NW of Calgary, and Queen is in the deep SE of Calgary itself.

Probably an hour's drive at highway speeds as the crow flies?

My town is closer to the mountains...but don't see how much difference that would make.

Hope you warm up soon, girl!

Sorry to correct you, but we moved to an acreage SW of Calgary. We're 17 km from SW Calgary. 1.5 km from the Leighton Centre.
