Start of the snow season… whatcha getting?

[Sundancefisher]

Calgary has a 10-15 cm snowfall warning for today.

South Calgary so far as of 8:30 am has just seen rain.

I expect to get no snow as my oil is changed in the snow blower, I filled the gas tank and got extra gas handy. Started it up yesterday and went on the second pull and purred like a snow leopard.

All the yard chores are done.

So ya. Won’t snow now that I’m prepared.

Put away all the hoses, got the snow tires on the Toyota, 6 weeks of summer, 4 weeks of fall and 30 - 40 weeks of winter. That's Alberta living close to the mountains. I met a woman at the "dump" yesterday, toque, winter coat and boots and she told me that she was on her way to Texas today. Just rain so far 0830 Monday. I was still wearing shorts and sandals! Well it won't be long now.

We are getting ready to visit the penquins in February, must be crazy!

There are still lots of leaves on some of the trees. Hopefully there isn't a lot of tree damage from the snow load. The last couple of years have been tough on the neighbourhood trees.

Did the last of the yard work yesterday. Mowed the lawn/picked up leaves. Started the snowblower. Parked the lawn mower at the back of the shed. Put the patio furniture away. Got out the snow shovels. Drained the garden hose for the final time. Turned off the outside water, etc, etc. We should be ready to go.

It's been a great fall. Nice and warm with some rain to help the trees get one last drink.

Gonna put the snow tires on the car before I head to work this afternoon.

Just a skiff so far, but Saturday I put the new studded snow tires from Tirebob on the truck, and ran the snowblower , so I am ready for winter.

Snowing here a bit this morning, table on the deck has a cover of white, street wet not supposed to get much 1 - 2 cm forecast but it is Oct 23 already

Varied flurries in the "Chuk". Trouble is the roads are still warm and snow is melting, and will eventually freeze to a black ice condition.

Same as every fall transition. But you can bet the ACE SNOW PLOW CREWS at the City of Edmonton will get out to sand the roads, in a week or three.

Still need to put bobs winter tires on the vehicles.

I’m procrastinating on that. Did all the other stuff in the yard.

1 pm and still no snow.
