The apocalypse cometh
So weather here is crazy. First off, as I mentioned before, you can't see it coming. One minute it's warm and sunny, the next it's raining and windy. Of course, were the mountains not in the way you could see the rain clouds hours in advance but...not in Banff.
Secondly, when weather does come, interesting things happen. The mountains here are high enough to impact the cloud movement. For example, this morning was a regular, dreary day. But, because of the mountains, the sky was not overcast in that grey, Detroit sort of way; instead, wehad sunny patches immediately behind the mountains and black, sky-rivers of death in between them.
Also interesting is when the clouds are completely blocked by the mountains so they build up vertically on the far side. Of course, this is the kind of thing that we can see happening and, let me tell you, when they finally break over it's armageddon.
Speaking of which, it's definitely going to snow tonight. It's cold, window, and I can see black clouds building up behind Mt Norquay (just west of here). well, i can't see them right now, but i could before. Right now i'm in this dungeon-like iCafe typing this post. It could be doing anything outside...hopefully snowing on the ski slopes only.

Hey Pop! I saw your MSN name, and though I never really read blogs, I figured yours might actually be interesting. I haven't been dissapointed. Sounds like you're settling in pretty nicely, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous of all the scenery and fresh air. I'll start concocting elaborate plans to transport half the population of London(the half you like) out to visit ... sometime. I'll likely employ your Florida tactic of "LOOK! PRETTY PICTURES." Worked on me.
Peace,
Dony
