Almost gone

[cyclecat]

After the dump of snow on Tuesday and Wednesday, we thought winter was back. Started snowing on Monday and a bit harder on Tuesday and by Tuesday night it was pretty much a blizzard. We ended up with 16" of heavy, wet snow on the flat and 800 downed power lines from Calgary south to the border. We were out of power for 18 hours and last night there was still 1900 houses without power in this area.

Temps have been well above zero the last 2 days and never went below zero last night, so things are melting nicely. Temps are forecasted to be mid teens today and tomorrow so we should be able to ride, as long as the wind doesn't howl. We haven't been on the Nomads for 2 weeks because it's been raining, snowing, or the wind has been blowing 60 to 70 kph.
