Sitting in hotel room watching the Weather Network, Canada's version of the Weather Channel. No Jim Cantore, though. If you click on their logo you will get the weather page for Cold Lake.We got snowed out today, lots of snow fell here last night, as much as 20cm. And it is still falling. When we got to the unpaved section of the range road, which isn't plowed except by the military, we found it was up to the bottom of the vehicle. Knowing that the situation was likely to be worse on the range itself, since it was obvious no snow plows had been out yet, and that snow was continuing to fall, we turned back. It is possible that the military snow plows won't run until Monday (almost certain if they don't run today, I imagine they have their hands full with the base and the runways), and therefore if we were able to get in this morning, we might not be able to get back out until Monday.
Note that unlike certain people I know in Vermont, we at least tried to get to work in these conditions.

Current view out of my hotel window. The flakes are getting big and wet.

Snow? What snow???? I don't see any snow! I think you could have made it onto the range if you really tried. Ft Collins will be getting another 6-8" tonight on top of what's already been sitting there since December. Our cows are still hungry! Erika
Who cares about Jim Cantore, I want to know is ther a Canadian Wx Channel equivalent to Sharon Resultan ???
