Carrick to Calgary

More piccies from the past, this time documenting the progress of a typical chinook, which is a warm wind which sweeps down off the Rockies over Calgary and brings the temperatures up sharpish. As you can see, it was back in February and we were in the freezer:


Minus 13 and a half outdoors and a bracing +15 indoors, enough to keep you in bed for the day

Snowy outside too

Might have to get the snow shovel out to do the tea!

So along comes Mr Chinook and in no time at all (only a few hours), the IN/OUT thermoclock has changed its tune:

A full 22 DEGREES warmer by tea-time! WOW!

Where did da snow go?

Easy to BBQ now, but a bit wet

The magic of the Chinook, which we will not be getting up in Edmonton (too far north, plus chinooks are for softies, apparently!)
