Oh... my.... God..............

God knew what he was doing when he made me a southerner. I have lived in snow country and was exposed to arctic weather while aboard ship. I did not function well and hated every moment. We have cold weather in Alabama but Im talking teens F cold. When we get an occasional Alberta Clipper we can have nights below 10 f. When we get the clipper it is usually clear and sunny, the clearer it is the colder the nights are. Usually no matter how cold the nights are the weather warms up to shirt sleeve weather by noon. We are way over due for some snow. Last measurable snow here was 1993, when we had 11" that lasted several days. That 11" of snow was a record for
this area.

This morning in Calgary it is -25.5oC. At least there doesn't appear to be much wind.

The other thing about these temps is the itchy winter skin that comes with them. There isn't much humidity here, dry as a bone you might say. With that is alot of static, so be careful how you pet kitties. These days it doesn't seem to matter how much Aveno I use, I'm still itchy.

The snow came faster than the weather channel said. I could see my grass this morning! Now its gone. I have to work until midnight and one of my greatest fears is being snowed in at work. You should have seen all the people preparing last night at midnight. Normally I don't pass any cars or people on the way home from work and last night there was as much traffic as there would be at noon. It is fun to see Arizona get more snow than Wisconsin, granted they have bigger mountains. Its not fun driving in this though, no salt has been spread yet and people are sliding everywhere.
