Mother

My mother arrives in town this afternoon for a stay of a week and a half or so. I told her that based on the time of year she had better bring hat, gloves, and shorts.

I'm already right about the hat and gloves. I was surprised to wake up this morning to about five inches of snow on the ground. It wasn't snowing when I went to bed, and I hadn't even heard that we were supposed to get anything more than some light rain. It's barely freezing outside, but the snow is still coming down pretty hard. It's supposed to be pressing 70° by Sunday, so hopefully I'll turn out to be right about needing shorts as well.

We're at that time of year when the temperatures regularly swing 35° in a day and perhaps as much as 50° in a week. It makes for beautiful days and great sleeping at nights. Living just to the east of the mountains really does wonders for the weather patterns. I'd really like to go spend some time in Calgary or Edmonton to see the similarities.
