Weather… weather always changes. Especially for us vault dwellers in Alberta, it can change on a dime.
On Wednesday we all woke up to a snowy wasteland, and this morning we wake to the sun peaking through cloudy skies, and it’s like the snowfall never happened, like some grand conspiracy. The forecast perpetuates this manipulation, as Thursday will be a mix of sun and cloud with a high of 2 C and 20 km/h winds, which isn’t nothin’. Those winds will persist overnight when the temperature will drop below freezing, -9 C. Friday the forecast will maintain itself at 3 C, with 15 km/h winds producing a wind chill of -12.
