WHAT is even happening with the weather today yikes
When I went out to the barn just now it looked like spring thaw. It's +2C, there are giant puddles, and in a lot of places (like the entire driveway) there's a layer of water on top of ice. It's about to drop back to way below freezing and then we're supposed to get 15 cm of snow tomorrow.
Wheeeeee
Oh apparently this awful mess happening today is called an "Alberta Clipper"
Which invites the age-old Canadian joke I've shared way too many times: Why is it so windy in Saskatchewan?

Because Alberta blows and Manitoba sucks!
Well, all the assorted yellow warnings coalesced into an orange blizzard warning. Fuck.
The blizzard is going to start with a few hours of "freezing rain mixed with snow." It just keeps getting better and better! Going to try to get a lot done outside before it gets terrible... (edited to add a screenshot of the gross mess that's coming)
The very fluffy dogs are very happy about more snow. The goats are very happy to have a barn to snuggle in and will avoid the snow, thank you very much. (The chickens won't even consider coming out of the coop. Fair.)
Tow truck drivers in Saskatchewan are superheroes!
(Everything is fine now! Everyone is ok, and tow truck drivers are awesome.)
Blue is "travel not recommended" which is pretty much everything around Regina now. I really really hope the schoolbuses are running this afternoon... School bus drivers in Saskatchewan (and everywhere), also superheroes!

Chickens are full of envy for the geese, who can migrate to a warmer place 😄
@GustavinoBevilacqua@mastodon.cisti.org I have 3 (non-migratory) geese to help guard the chickens, but they don't seem to mind the snow, unlike the chickens who are horribly offended by it!
