Nov 22/14 - Snowing but Sticky


Morning Gang,
It doesn't really show it in the photos but it is snowing lightly but steadily.  It is however, only about 2cm and it is sticky sticky wet snowman type snow with a bit of grauple (little balls) of snow.  Crowsnest Pass last night around 10pm - 11pm was getting sleet type rain/snow mix but nothing was really sticking to the ground long.  We were getting more snow just that bit higher here but still wet.

Supposed to snow a bit more on the BC side with on and off cloudy and possible snow all week but not a significant amount and hovering in the -2 to +2 range.  Crowsnest/Pincher Creek has a wind warning for this afternoon with winds going up to 100km/hr then dropping to 50km/hr as the temps climb to +6 and then offer up more wet sleet type weather on and off with temps staying in the +3 to +5 range.

Pincher was beautiful last night for their Parade of Lights - warmest one yet.  I was without a toque or gloves around 10pm as it warmed up as the night went on and didn't offer up any precipitation.

Met Merlin and Rhonda Lewis of Skyline SxS Rentals out of Pincher Creek in the parade last night.  They rent out a couple of Polaris sleds and I believe they said a few of Razors in the summer time.  He used to be the dealer in Pincher area and has been riding here for many many years.  Their website is www.skylinesxsrentals.com - check them out.  Now go check out the condition of your belt and maybe pick up a new one just in case so you are ready! Cheers - V
