Winter Arrives In Calgary ... Finally!

Well, almost after an entire winter of nothing but chinooks and browned prairie, winter finally arrived in Calgary 3 weeks ago. These pictures were taken the morning after the first true snowstorm of the year, where 15 cm of fresh powder fell. You might think that would be a pain to shovel, but this is Alberta, so the snow is very dry and light. A simple push along the width of the driveway with the scraper was all it took to clean up the snow, and the snow vaporized off the windshield of my car as soon as a small portion of it becmae exposed to sunlight!
