I'm taking off my winter tires this week, so it will be sure to come after I do so.

That reminds me - I dumped my (pretty much bald) all-seasons in October to buy winter tires, telling myself that I had six months to worry about getting new all-seasons.

Now that time has come and I haven't even looked into it. Yikes.

April 8th sounds like a good day for a snowstorm

It's snowing crazy up in the north right now. Who can I blame for this?

Woohoo, i didn't take my tires off yet! I was thinking about taking them off this afternoon. Wowzers.

It won't stick to the ground anyway. There may be snow in the morning, but it should all be on the grass. And wow, the power is just about going out here. I almost lost this post 2 times. Better post before the po...

just kidding

Anyone else getting brown outs. I can't watch TV cause my cable box keeps resetting and my TV keeps going off and on. I'm in Arbour Lake.

Edit: So weird hearing thunder now while it's snowing hard.

Man the electricity is going up and down like a yo-yo out in Chestermere.

My UPS is buzzing from power surges and dips like every 10 seconds.

Lights are flickering downtown and my PC speakers keep going off. Everything else seems to be handling it okay. Should I be turning everything off?

Either Darryl or Brent Sutter. They seem to be responsible for most of the problems in Calgary these days. You can always fall back on Iginla/Joikenin.

/facepalm/

I've been reading way to much Calgarypuck lately.

On topic we've been having the lights flicker for the last hour. Knocked out the computer once already.

Yeah, I had to convince my kid to turn off the TV, too much up and down I don't want it to get messed up.

So he grabs his iPod.

I'm in the SW and my Power (Electricty) has flickered on/off about 30 times in the last hour & a 1/2. Just those little milli-second flickers enough to kill a phone call but not long enough to kill the TV or PC ETC....

Yeah, it's same here in the SW by chinook. Lights are flickering, luckily my computer is plugged into a surge protector, but getting big dips. Fridge is cutting in and out.

Up here in the Mac, there is a heavy snowfall warning in effect for tonight; 10-15 cm is what they're sayin'. I'd sh*t a litter of lizards if we actually got that.

Man, in the SW, signal hill here, and for the past while the Internet keeps dying out frequently, comes back online, then dies again.

Crazy looking out my window right now, so much snow and wind. Hilarious to think that my parents were out earlier in the day working on the backyard and garden.
