WHAT is even happening with the weather today yikes
When I went out to the barn just now it looked like spring thaw. It's +2C, there are giant puddles, and in a lot of places (like the entire driveway) there's a layer of water on top of ice. It's about to drop back to way below freezing and then we're supposed to get 15 cm of snow tomorrow.
Wheeeeee

Oh apparently this awful mess happening today is called an "Alberta Clipper"
Which invites the age-old Canadian joke I've shared way too many times: Why is it so windy in Saskatchewan?

.Because Alberta blows and Manitoba sucks!

Well, all the assorted yellow warnings coalesced into an orange blizzard warning. Fuck.

The blizzard is going to start with a few hours of "freezing rain mixed with snow." It just keeps getting better and better! Going to try to get a lot done outside before it gets terrible... (edited to add a screenshot of the gross mess that's coming)

The very fluffy dogs are very happy about more snow. The goats are very happy to have a barn to snuggle in and will avoid the snow, thank you very much. (The chickens won't even consider coming out of the coop. Fair.)

Tow truck drivers in Saskatchewan are superheroes!
(Everything is fine now! Everyone is ok, and tow truck drivers are awesome.)
Blue is "travel not recommended" which is pretty much everything around Regina now. I really really hope the schoolbuses are running this afternoon... School bus drivers in Saskatchewan (and everywhere), also superheroes!

Hooray for bus drivers!! Superheroes!
Not a blizzard yet, but I am so grateful I didn't have to drive anywhere.

Oh yeah it's a blizzard. Almost every road in the entire southern half of Saskatchewan (larger than most European countries, as we learned from a post earlier!) is blue for "travel not recommended" or red for "closed".
And there are some true superheroes out there working right now: snowplow drivers, utility workers, tow truck drivers, emergency workers... lots of helpers!

School buses are already cancelled for tomorrow, but school is not cancelled (they *NEVER* cancel school here, it's bizarre)...
Anyway... if the roads look like that tomorrow morning, I am definitely not driving my kids to school! There won't be enough teachers who can make it to school anyway... I really don't understand why they don't have snow days *ever* here. One of the weirdest parts of living on the prairies.
