We have a skiff of snow on the ground here and it's still snowing lightly. That NE wind can bugger off any time! Thanks PrairieChaser :)

Cochrane looks like they have at least a few inches. Here in Airdrie rain has been off and on. 5mm of rain last nite, but no snow yet as its still +2. There really was a thunderstorm yesterday here, and Pat I got a couple pics of the pea size hail, although it was almost melted a half hour later when I found my digital. Just looked at Lethbridge AMA camera, nice there with a big chinook arch and that wonderful west wind. Cheers Wow looking at the Hinton and Jasper cameras, looks like a foot.

We are never gonna shake this snow I swear. Didn't hear any thunder today myself. Some huge rain drops (thought I might see some hail) in Beikser. Was out in Drumheller today (escaping the city life in Calgary) and nothing but showers. The thunderstorms are down south enjoying the warmer weather I guess. Nice blog!! Can’t believe it!!
