Not often you see thunderstorms around these parts this time of the year.

Must be my Apocalypse GDT... I don't think I ever have seen the words "blizzard" and "thunderstorm" in the same sentence before.

Just missing "hellfire".

I told you that you shouldn’t have used that GDT them again.

Crazy weather day out our way. Pretty wicked thunderstorm, followed by a couple of inches of snow.

Where are you?

Where are you?

East of Sher Pk. Still snowing now.

 

[Beerfish]

Frack, didn't see this blizzard coming. I would have been more than happy with a good rain storm. Too bad it was not about 6 or 7 C warmer.

Sunshine and 20C here in Millwoods. Gotta love city heat microclimates.

kidding, been a blizzard here for hours. First it was melting on contact now piling up. I am refusing to get the shovel out of the garage where I stored it. On strike.. heh

 

[Messrules11]

Yeah, this is insane April 10 and a blizzard

 

[Nunymare]

The wind is pretty crazy... don’t think we even had a storm like this in the winter months.

 

[oobga]

Fun times. Out for a nice bike ride in the morning. Shoveling thick slush in the evening.

Better be the end of this crap until next winter!

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

yeah, we never get blizzards in April

I've been scheduled to be in the Edmonton area for 3 weeks of work and I am headed up today from the Hat. Is it still storming up there or has it calmed down? According to the road reports, the roads are still pretty poor. Hopefully those improve by the time I get up there later this evening.

This never fails, everytime I need to travel for work between October and May, it storms. Blame it on me.

not snowing but perhaps prepare for icy roads
although depending on when you come, the snow will be melting by then

 

[soothsayer]

People didn't really think that there wouldn't be snow after April 1, did they? This is just good ol second winter.

 

[Mrgnwllm]

Roads and sidewalks are slick .

 

[ZJuice]

I have watched two different vehicles softly plow into the dead end on Sask Drive (bridge construction). Use your noggins!

Hope you have a safe trip. I’m partly to blame as well, did my tire swap on Thursday.

It'll be this evening around 7 for sure when we get in. Sounds like the Leduc area on 2 are still a mess.
