Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2004OT: Heavy Snowfall Warning
You know, we don't live in igloos or drive ski-doos to the shopping center up here; however, our annual spring storm is upon us and there is a heavy snowfall warning for today. The grass is green, the trees are in leaf and blossom, and the hummingbirds are here BUT ... http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/warnings/report_e.html?ABRM121 It won't stay long though.

Ew. It sounds like spring is at the same stage there as it is here in southern Finland. I would hate it if there was a snow storm at this stage. Brr! Just when you've peeled off all the thick winter clothes. They did say on the weather forecast that there might be snow in Lapland (northern Finland) today. Purrs that you are not snowed in and it melts as quickly as it got there.

I always reply to sender instead of group by accident then get a spam block reply. Duh! Here's what I wrote: Hi Marina - yes, we sure do have weather in common. I kind of like it today - its not too cold so its just kind of fun! I'm hoping the lawn will be nice and green after this melts :-) SM Ah, spring in Calgary, where the snow falls eternal... I remember it well, and my fingers go numb just remembering. Just on the other side of the hills (in the Okanagan) I'm debating whether it's too early yet to plant things out in the garden. The rule is supposed to be the May long weekend, but the spring has been really warm and dry. Too warm and dry. Particularly considering our spectacular fire season last year. A little snow might even be welcome...

Sam and I were just looking at a picture book of your spectacular fire season yesterday - that must have been quite surreal. I hope you get your moisture soon - we've really needed it too.

Krista!! We'll be camping outside of Oroville Washington on June 25th We'll be staying at Osoyoos State park on the South shore of Osoyoos Lake. Any chance it's near your neck of the woods? Pam S. Eeeeew! I am *so* relieved that we're not coming to town until July 1st. Was just talking to my MIL in Calgary for Mother's Day and she did mention something about snow. YUCK! I am already starting to worry about what I'll do if the temps are below 20C...don't want to pack any heavy clothes because we want to bring so much back with us from our storage and need all the room we can get in our luggage. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!

Hey Britta: Just don't do the Jasper/Banff highway. We've hit a snowstorm every year we've driven it on that weekend. One weekend, we were bike riding it. It sucked ... and it wasn't just the weather - it was the 3 broken chains, 4 flat tires, and my husband forgetting to reattach his brakes after changing a tire and then HEADING DOWN SUNWAPTA PASS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eek. Hopefully, you'll be able to borrow some clothes and not bring all the warm stuff. Heck - give me a call - I've got 3 of everything from my former life as a moutain woman before kids! Take care, Susan M Otis and Chester > > Eeeeew!

Heck - give me a call - I've got 3 of everything from my former life > as a moutain woman before kids! Oh, man. The weather better co-operate. We'll be trundling along the highway from Vancouver to Calgary in a rented U-haul around July 1st. We don't need no #$%$% storms, thankyouverymuch! I'm really hoping that by that time the summer will have really set in. We do have winter jackets at my SIL's place in Calgary and my mom in Victoria has our leather jackets. I'm hoping to be able to get by with one pair of sneakers and one pair of jeans and the rest summer clothes. If worse comes to worse, I can borrow from my SIL, although she is 4 inches shorter than me! We'll be in Calgary until July 9, maybe we should try to meet? -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur! Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album Oh, Britta!! I'm in Kelowna -- which is right between. What route are you taking to Calgary? How long are you in Vancouver? (I'd love to meet) And where will Vino be while you're over here? And IMHO, you'll be fine with the clothes you describe. It's JULY - any snow in Calgary in July can be waited out indoors pretty much. The weather in the mountains is more likely to be wind than snow by then. KLC > Oh, man. The weather better co-operate.

We [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Check out pictures of Vino at: > http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album Hi Krista! I have no idea what route we are taking to Calgary. Whatever the fastest one is. We kind of want to get there in one day, renting this U-Haul is going to be expensive, especially since it will be one way. We are arriving in Vancouver on June 20th and we'll be around for 3 days or so, then heading to Victoria and we'll be in Vancouver again for a day before leaving on our trip to Calgary around July 1 or 2. I'd love to meet, do you think that Kelowna is on the way to Calgary? I'm ashamed to admit that I can't remember. I used to go to college in Castlegar and drove that way a lot, but it didn't go through Kelowna. But I'd really like to avoid that horrible Hope/Princeton highway. If we come through Kelowna, we should do a quick stop for lunch and meet up :-) Oh, by the way, you wouldn't happen to be interested in purchasing (very cheap!) a very nice leather sectional or small dining room table with tile top and 4 chairs??? -- Britta (trying desperately to minimize our stuff, the more we get rid of, the better!) > Oh, Britta!! > I'm in Kelowna -- which is right between.

We're going away for week somewhere in there so we'll just have to coordinate dates. I'd love to meet you (I guess you can't bring Vino :-( ) and Dennis and I'd like you to meet the holy terror Otis as well. Besides, we have a chiminea in the backyard that you could cuddle up to if the weather isn't warm enough :D I'm wishing for good mountain pass weather for you - with nice weather, that drive can be a really fun trip! Let me check our dates with my husband and I'll e-mail you. We'll just be in Canmore anyway so we're not far. BTW, how about those Flames???? Susan M Otis and Chester > > Oh, man.

We [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > BTW, how about those Flames???? Cool, I'm glad you want to meet :-) I'd love to meet you and the holy terror Otis too. Yeah, let me know the dates, my email is badwilson at yahoo dot com. Somewhere between July 3 and 9 would be best. We'll be staying with my SIL who lives in the SE, but will be able to borrow a car no problem. Sheesh, are the Flames doing well? I heard something a while ago, but am totally clued out. I really need to look on the internet. They don't show a single hockey game here :-( -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!

It's like that here too - if you look at my pics, you'll see running in the sprinkler two weeks ago. It must be beautiful in TO now - I went to U of T and always remember, with awe, the early springs. Just don't get me there in the hot summers though :-) Susan M Otis and Chester > http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/warnings/report_e.html?ABRM121 Beautiful! We're having the mildest spring I've ever experienced here in Texas. We haven't had a single day over 85F (30C) yet and it's May already! It's awesome!
