And yet it's not great for getting to Revelstoke, which I must do tomorrow morning. Early.

If you can’t kickflip then you have to give up your board. Those are the rules.

Man, it's like Jr High all over again. Can't I just cruise on my long board in peace?

Oh man, I'd love to smell me some rain today. Haven't smelled rain in forever. Plus I just did a spring cleanup on my yard and the rain would really help finish it off by washing away the dust.

Most of my front yard is still covered in snow/ice, it gets no direct sun so takes forever.

It's doing.. something in Chestermere. Not sure what though. Too big to be sleet. Not falling hard enough to be hail. Too hard to be snow. Too frozen to be rain.

Thunder sle-ail.

It's called graupel.


Quote:
With many reports of graupel today and sometimes misidentified with snow I thought I’d share what exactly it is. It’s a form of precipitation that isn’t seen very often even though it’s present in almost every thunderstorm or thundershower. Graupel is often referred to also as a soft hail, snow grains or snow pellets. It forms when you have some warmer air at the surface and very cold air aloft. Usually you get this when we have strong upper level lows and just chilly enough air at the surface to allow the graupel to reach the ground. Pretty much exactly the type of set-up we have today. You can also get this mixed in with thunder-snow like we had back in February.

At least 20 cm of snow on the west side. Not sure that was in the forecast ?

They thought the foothills would get more accumulation, and based on my history of growing up in the NW I'm not surprised you got it too.

Woke up to maybe 1cm on the ground, but roads were only wet.

I'm in West Springs. I'd say I have about 10cm right now.


Hoping it melts quickly. My shovel gets put away on April 1, anything that falls after that is Mother Nature's job.
