Tonights forcast.
This has been the wierdest winter on record. We have no snow and the temperature has hovered around zero (32F) for the past 2 1/2 months. In January we had double digit weather (14C/57F).
Edmonton lies on the 53 parellel. Alberta is boardered by the artic and the Rockies. When I was a kid, we'd get so much snow. Drifts of 6ft were not uncommon and neither was snow at halloween. Severak children a year would suffocate in tunnels they'd built. We had to walk to school on the roads because sidewalks were impassable. But each year there is less snow and this year only one c-c-c-c-ooooooooold snap of -20C/-4F. And that's not really cold by our standards. Not that I'm complaining about the lack of frigid air but no snow??? This is just plain weird.
