Re: Holy cr@p at the snow in edmonton!

I will take some tomorrow when I get home from work. It is -33*C on the outdoor thermometer right now. Thank God for double attached garage else it would be an ice cube driving to work in the morning.....

Actually I may take a day for those pictures. I am dropping the FJ off tomorrow afternoon for its annual undercoating check and reapplication etc...

Re: Holy cr@p at the snow in edmonton!

When that front rolled through here the other day the temp dropped 25 degrees in 1/2 hr. and you are right the wind is what makes it unbearable. One of my employees parents are on their way to Phoenix and when they hit the Arizona border the road was closed unless you had chains. So it seems to be hitting the whole western states as well. You sound like you may have gotten more snow than us. Have fun bust'n drifts.

Re: Holy cr@p at the snow in edmonton!

We didn't get much snow in Calgary, although the little bit we did get drifted around a lot. It was real windy here.
I'm heading to Red Deer today for work. I don't mind the cold and wind. I'm just hoping the snow stays away for a bit longer.
