Default Sometimes it Snows in April...

Sometimes it feels so bad!

Come on! It's snowing again? I thought the melt was finally getting into gear and we would get some sunshine. What's even more ridiculous is how everyone forgets how to drive, even if it's just a light snowfall. Traffic was backed up to my house again this morning.

Got to the gym pretty quickly this morning... And I left at 7:30am!

Ah, there's always an upside to layoffs.

I just came back from Hokkaido, Japan. If Calgarians can't drive here, there's no way in hell they'd even last 2 minutes on snowy Japanese roads. This weather is peanuts!

As crazy as it sounds, I could do with another cold snap and snow dump in the mountains so I can go skiing one more time this year.

It always snows in April. Always. April snow brings May showers.

I put my summer tires on last week in anticipation of spring like weather. If you see me in the ditch, say hi.

+7 is the threshold for changing over tires. The average temperature in April is well over 7 degrees.

April snows brings May Showers, which brings June downpours which brings Stampede flowers for our two week summer.

This weather completely wears you down. I've been feeling worse and worse for the last few weeks with the rapid changes happening. But today I feel like death. I'm finishing up a few things and going home.

I also washed and waxed my car on the same day I put my summer tires on. So yes, you can blame me.
