It was a beautiful bright sunny day with lots of blue sky. We got into positive figures today, but it still felt quite cold out of the sun as there was quite a cold wind. It was still much better than what we have had over the last few weeks. Due to the warmer weather, the snow started to melt, which made the roads very slushy which meant constant use of washer fluid and wipers on the windscreen. Headlights get very dirty too. Not getting caught without washer fluid is a way of life here in Southern Alberta!

It was a white and snowy sky this morning and snow was falling quite heavily. We cleared maybe 3cm-4cm of snow from the drive. The snow is now dry and wispy and is light to push to the sides of the drive and then shovel away. Despite the snowfall, the snow-ploughs and gritters had the main highways looking pretty clear by early to mid afternoon. The white skies and snow gave way to near clear blue skies for a time this afternoon. Then a little fog rolled in as the evening came on. A very mixed day!

During the day, we got into low positive numbers and it felt fairly mild. There was a bit of wind from time to time which reminded you it was winter but between times, we were able to leave jackets off, which was nice.

The sky was white, and visibility was poor, and reduced to zero when overtaken by a large truck or lorry (which would throw up a cloud of powdery snow). There were reports of many accidents, so care and attention was needed on the roads. The cloud had cleared and the sun was shining by around 3pm.

It was a mild start to the day, with no wind and a bright sky. However, we have the following weather warning being issued so despite the pleasant start, it looks like we could be in for a bit of a battering over the next few days. It had cooled down a lot by lunchtime and the snow started to fall by around 1.30pm.
WINTER STORM WARNING: Okotoks, High River, Claresholm - FRIDAY 12 DECEMBER 2008
10 TO 15 CM of snow with blowing snow today and tonight. Dangerous winter weather conditions are imminent or occurring. Monitor weather conditions.
An intense low pressure system over Southern BC this morning will move South Eastward through Montana tonight. An area of snow associated with the system is developing in the Northern Foothills this morning and will spread into Southern Alberta this afternoon and evening. 10 TO 15 cm of snow is forecast across the regions by Saturday afternoon with up to 20cm over higher elevations. In addition, a cold front across Northern Alberta this morning will drop Southward through Alberta today. Behind the cold front strong Northerly winds of 40 to 60 KM/H will draw cold arctic air across the province and drop daytime highs into the -20’s for the weekend. These strong winds combined with fresh snow will produce poor visibilities with blowing snow especially in South Eastern Alberta. Winds gusting to 80 KM/H may reduce visibilities to near zero at times. As the temperature plummets and winds persist on Saturday, wind chill values of -35 to -40 can be expected.

Days we didn't see any sun: (3)
The sky was white this morning with no sun which made it quite a dark start to the day. This picuture, which shows snow covering the ice on the lake, was taken at 8am. There wasn't a great deal of snow on the roads and most of the main routes had been gritted. The cold wind and no sun made it feel very cold this morning. The cloud did break and the sun did shine in the afternoon, but it remained very cold.

Days we didn't see any sun: (3)
It was a fairly cloudy start to the day, but not cold. By noon the cloud had cleared and the sun was shining, the wind had picked up a bit, but it still didn't feel cold. We went out in a t-shirt and jumper and were just fine. Once the sun had gone down, the temperature dropped quickly and the wind became much stronger and it began to feel really quite cold. The forecast said freezing rain and snow overnight and it had begun to snow by early evening.
