^ Awesome area...weather 99.9% perfect all winter. I love it. I love Mexicans, and their weather...at least the Pacific coast weather in winter.

It's going to be an epic trip. Going for a wedding with a group of 40+, lots of family and friends. Staying at the Marival resort.

Light blowing snow on West side, but no blizzard yet

Lethbridge was horrendous this morning, although things seemed to have cooled down a bit now.

Mostly just wind in Cochrane, light snow.

Tropics? Best snow this season. Who's going to the tropics?
Came back from Golden yesterday. Tons of snow. Highway was closed coming back for avalanche control. Heading back on monday. Woohoo!

I think the South must be getting the worst of it because I'm in the NW and while there is alot of wind, right now its just large flakes falling but nothing serious. The wind doesn't even feel that cold.

I have no plans to travel anywhere warm this winter, but I'd love to spend one Christmas in Australia and see what its like to be sitting in a pool having an outdoor BBQ for Christmas Dinner.

I'm in the SW by Fish Creek and right now it's gusty, but barely snowing.

Going to the big island if Hawaii in March but I've also been out and about most of the day so far, to the dump then to some stores all around Okotoks. Treacherous driving earlier, now not so bad. Gonna x-country ski around the property a bit then maybe go on a little expedition to look for some blizzard photos.

Embrace your inner blizzard.

Just got back home from a quick jaunt to Airdrie.

Whiteout conditions just north of Calgary as snow from fields is being chucked across the highways. Road conditions aren't that bad yet. Moving into the north of the city quickly.

Down in south calgary, deerfoot is still fairly clear, a little mushy in places.

Down in the deep SE, winds are still hammering the area and making big ol snow drifts where I live... which is a common occurrence.

Snowing and blowing up north here, but not near as bad as your southerners have it right now.

I'm confident it is on the way, however.
