The challenges of being a birder
Once again, a giant leap from the tropical rainforest of Trinidad to the latest Alberta snowfall that arrived this morning. Sigh ... will this ever end, lol? Our temperature just before noon is -1C (windchill -7C). Thinking ahead to next month, it is not that unusual for us to have a major May snowstorm. Hopefully not this year.
From the Weather Network:
"Snowfall Warning Issued at 10:39 Monday 16 April 2018
Snowfall with total amounts of 10 to 20 cm is expected. 10 to 20 cm of heavy wet snow are likely.
Snow will end from south to north tonight, with 10 to 20 cm generally expected.
Near the eastern edge of the warning, including the city of Calgary, snowfall amounts will be highly variable and dependent on elevation. Lower portions of Calgary may see less than 10 cm while higher areas, most notably the northwestern part of the city, will likely see higher amounts.
Rapidly accumulating snow could make travel difficult over some locations. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow."
Sure, this sounds and feels like spring : )
I feel so glad that I finally got out for a few hours yesterday, 15 April 2018, joining a group of friends on a birding trip SE of the city.
