60 Degrees

With Wendy and Graeme due to arrive in Calgary, I put in an order for snow. Think I overshot a little with a snowstorm that sent temperatures plummeting and caused flights to be cancelled. W&G slipped in on the last plane from Vancouver. The welcoming party was unable to get to the airport due to the gridlocked traffic and, after an hour in the taxi line-up, our guests arrived shivering on our doorstep.

The weekend brought with it temperatures down to minus 30. The kids quickly learned that you DO need gloves when you go out to shovel the walk. But in typical Aussie fashion, the boys stood around drinking beer whilst cooking the BBQ!
