11/12 January 2024 - our present weather!
Extreme Cold Warning 😢issued at Thu 4:39 AM Jan. 11 2024. "The latest forecast issues a bold warning for Calgary, Alberta, anticipating temperatures not seen since January 24th, 1954. Friday, 12 January 2024, is poised to become one of the coldest days in recent memory across Alberta, as models project daytime highs struggling to surpass -30°C." The Weather Network.
After a few weeks of amazing, mild winter weather and only three or four snowfalls, we had a drastic change of weather a few nights ago. Everywhere is covered in snow, with maybe 3" or 4" along the top of my fence. So thankful I have the luxury of being able to stay home. I suspect that my front door is probably frozen shut by now - and i knew my car battery was dead when I tried to auto-start it from indoors, sigh. Not that I was going anywhere. More snow tonight and the next two days. We have plunged into very cold weather. Late this evening, the temperature is -24°C (FEELS LIKE -37°C). Forecast for 12 January is -31°C (FEELS LIKE -41°C).
"A lobe of the polar vortex is on the move! Bitter, dangerously cold temperatures are set to infiltrate Alberta this week." The Weather Network.
Tonight, I am adding another five photos from my archives. If I wrote a description under a previously posted photo taken on the same day, I will add it under today's uploads.
