And From -30 C to plus 5 and Rain
 

be careful Folks It is going to be slippery out there Probably Black ice

You always say that.....

Just drove Bragg Creek to Cochrane with the trialer on. Slushy but beautiful all the way.

LOL I think I am in the Weird weather triangle of the Province Geeez This is silly

Yes, yes you are lol. Here in cowtown we've been getting the plus 5 degree weather but no rain yet lol.

I didnt want to have to be reminded of that fun little peice of info, i have to go to high river with a load of fat cattle monday haha

going to beautiful Cargill? I was just there the other week working on a broke down Penske H&R truck [duhhh]

beautiful up here too. Supposed to be in the plus range for the rest of the month,,, roads are some slippery though,, I can make my company truck with a hemi spin at will anytime anyplace,, lol

All nice, but we really dont need an early breakup this year.....

The boys need to make a bit of mooch, can't do that sinkin to the axles.....

Besides, for the first time in what, 30 years, we actually had enough snow to go sledding.....

- 30 to + 10 in a week is only good for the flu...

Rather hold at -10 till March

For those of us without garages, this nice weather means we can actually do something outside. Not that I actually do much. But I could.

Ahh.... I think it hit 77 here today...

Thats a little cold for you isnt it? LOL

You guys should go to Edmonton, wow, do they have a ton of snow. Must have snowed 2-3cm last night. On the flat ground I bet that there is 40-50cm of snow. The sidewalks look like tunnels and there almost no shoulders anywhere. It been awhile since I seen snow like that. On Monday, I have to drive to Kamloops, can't wait to see what at Rogers pass.

Not this time of year. It gets down in the 40's for a week or so at a time during the cold snaps...

It's why all the DANG Canadians are here!!!

I can imagine that, but don't think it's possible... [laugh]

we never got any of that snow up here,, thank god. We probably only have about a foot in total here....

Yup. Heres my front yard...

And that is when you want either a strong back or a snow blower. I'd prefer the snow blower.

I dont have either...

Shane, I was think what the heck you do with all that snow. I have a plow on the front of my quad, as I'm an old guy.

Might be a good year to own a snowmobliey, at least one more good reason[laugh] I bet ski should just rock this year, hope the body can handle it.[duhhh]

Yeah, forget that crap. I'm gonna go outside and take my shirt off and walk barefoot in the sand in the back yard...

My folks have 4-5 feet in the fields northwest of Peace River---nice thing is if your over 60 the plow comes in and does your yard with one swoop--they do a good job and are on it every time it snows.The grader has the extended plows on both sides,one trip/circle loop into the yard and you have a 30-40 foot cleared path all the way to the barns.They need the water up there this year as last year there was next to nothing---dug out was down 7 feet.Here's hoping.DW

I saw in the mountains, they are doing the double cut on the snow piles. I luv it. I like snow, just wished I had more money for a sled. If you go off the road, your stuck...[laugh]

I was in the Chetwynn area working, they have a front loader for snow removal. They just dump the snow over the fence. Some years, you can drive over the fence...with the loader[laugh]

something about a penske H&R truck says that thing has seen some "sweet and gentle love" in its life haha

Hey you hard core sledders out there, Golden has killer deep snow. I bet there is at least 4-5ft at the base. Drove by a few launch points along the hiway coming out wetcoast. Might be 4-5ft at Roger pass.

Literally, they closed the hiway again today for avalanches. Guys planing on going out sledding be careful out there, stick to the trees and meadows.

Paul was in Golden last weekend and there was actually too much snow for sledding.

I think that its the year for long tracks and paddles, true mountain machines. Tons of snow. At this time of year.[coffee]

A coworker had to leave his quad and hike out for 4 hours after getting stuck in Waiprus---dark by the time he reached his truck---fetched it the next day with a few other quads.Winch was no help as it was buried to the handle bars in a deep cutline valley.This is what happens when you "RIDE ALONE"[dummy][dummy][dummy].No sympathy from me.DW

Just got home last night, wow is was snowing up between Rogers pass and Revestoke. I bet it snowed another foot up there. Must have snowed here in Airdrie 1-2in last night, nothing really..[laugh]

If it keeps snowing like this, Brett you will be able to drive the sled over to my house.[coffee][laugh]

LOL, if I can ever keep them running I just might. Had a 10km hike out on Saturday, when my sled died, and then my buddies sled that we were using to tow it melted through a coolant line. Still had a good weekend, wasn't really excited to come home to -30 though... [laugh]

Good to see that you're getting out and enjoying the snow.[coffee]
