We feel rather cheated in Calgary right now. After a very long, cold and snowy winter this past year we thought we were going to have a beautiful summer until we had to deal with all the smoke that came from the forest fires making it yet another smoky summer. Today, I woke up to a winter wonderland of a couple of centimeters of snow and ice on my car. The leaves haven’t even finished changing colour yet. I do hope that the weather will be bright and sunny for our Calgary walk next weekend.
Still, it could have been much worse. We could have had another “Snowtember” event like in 2014 where a large September snowfall knocked down countless trees and tree branches all over the city and we had to relocate our Calgary Bladder Cancer Walk and Fun Run almost at the eleventh hour…..AND I am grateful we’re not facing a hurricane like Florence with catastrophic flooding.
Still….despite all this I’m not ready for a hot chocolate yet! :((
