Default weather forecast

http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/warnin...rt_e.html?ab12

We could be in for another infamous Calgary spring snowstorm. Enviornment Canada is kind of wishy washy on the prediction though. Could be this, could be that...... probably wont amount to anything. It's usually the ones that they predict "a couple centimetres possible" that end up being the big ones!! In 24 hours we'll know.

Probably will amount to nothing. I haven't washed my Jeep in a few weeks. This is always the biggest indicator of an upcoming storm.

I disagree. Whenever my wife has put out something for me to BBQ it has snowed. I saw some stuff in the fridge to thaw - it is going to snow.

By the looks of it, it shouldn't snow until late this evening.

Well, that will make for yet another fun drive in to work tomorrow!

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it amounts to nothing.

For me it's the fact that my back yard is just about to become dry enough to work on. Two or three more days of sun and it will be perfect.

So we are going to get a whole bunch of snow.

I just washed my car and changed my tires...I figured I may as well do it early and get the last dump of snow out of the way early, because it doesn't matter if I change them in March or June, it's snowing the next week anyway.

I've often wondered this as well. Has there ever been a five-day forecast that's held true?

I should say -40 with windchill... I was here in Calgary and I distinctly remember that week because I work at home and my computer crashed and I was forced to go into work all week... and it turns out that I was right and the issue was fixable and my tech guy was an idiot. That still ticks me off. I work at home so I don't have to go to work when it's -40. Frick.
