Calgary Can Be Crazy

Deerfoot this Morning

Calgary weather stations recorded a high around 10 degrees yesterday at high noon. On the drive home the temperature dropped down to freezing, and when I went to bed last night it looked more like fall than it did spring. This morning we awoke to a snow covered wonderland.

My commute into work today took an hour and a half. The largest hangup, besides every buffoon that has their summer slicks on their powerful rear wheel drive sport car, was a semi that had jackknifed under the Pagan overpass. In fact, it had only jammed up one lane, and ideally traffic could have managed to move around the blockage. Instead an army of idiot volunteers had conflicting ideas about how to handle it, and usually their lack of communication caused traffic in the two remaining free lanes to be stopped.

The silly part of this freak weather, is that in a few days you won't even know it happened. They are predicting a high of 20 degrees for Sunday.
