I have to laugh at our weather here today.
This is what it looks like outside this morning:

Yikes! I’ll have to call my parents and see if they got hit as well :). It’s the end of April....Mother Nature missed the memo that spring has sprung??

Haha, apparently! Last Sunday we went to a cookout in short sleeves.
Here's hoping it missed your parents:)

No luck, they got several inches of snow....out gardening last week and shovelling this weekend :). I vividly remember growing up with Alberta weather (and some of it not very fondly lol).

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Horrible, Mother Nature must have mis-read the calendar, or thinks Alberta is in the Southern Hemisphere!

Lol! We got snow here too :(

Crazy, isn't it?
How much did y'all end up getting? We ended up with about 9 inches, all is almost completely melted now. Starting to look forward to seeing leaves and flowers on the Lilac instead of snow.

Cleveland has had three snows this months. Is Canada dropping the border latitudes the way we did with Mexico back in the day????????????????????

LOL...As soon as I saw the photo I thought of Gordon Lightfoot's song 'Alberta Bound'..."Oh the prairie lights are burnin' bright, The Chinook wind is a-movin' in, Tomorrow night I'll be Alberta bound..."...You Albertan's wouldn't have it any other way...:D. And you can count on that Chinook to mess ya around eh???



As a fellow Canadian and Newfoundlander by', 'I reserve da rights te giv yer a dig'...ha ha ha...


From a Cheeky Newfie,

Debbie

Gail, I sent that snow down to you after the Rb requested it:)

Debbie, I love that song!
I am originally from West Va. and the weather here was a shock when I first moved here.
How long have you been in Australia? Newfoundland is on my must see list, it looks so beautiful!
Loved the "dig"!
