A look at today’s Edmonton weather by Environment Canada.
Monday morning temperatures at the Edmonton Blatchford station measured -2 C with 5 km/h winds out of the north and a -4 wind chill.
Well, this is not really a new position for me, I’ve taken the reigns of this here weather page from Trevor when he’s off or sick or tired or bored or when he felt like he just couldn’t come up with something snappy he’d look over to me and ask, “Hey man what exactly do you do here again?”
Then I would turn around, usually in slow motion, and wait the appropriate amount of time and simply dribble coffee from my mouth.
Trevor would then stare at me with this wide-eyed look on his face and just go back to work with a “You’re weird bud.”
So I’d like to think that yes I’ve helped over the years you know just like Sam and Frodo.
Does Lisa need a coat (and mittens)?
Good chance there maybe snow later so I’d keep the mittens in the pockets of the jacket, however, it might be time to do a jacket switch with the weather warming up I do declare that you may not needeth the winter coat strength.
