If you don’t like the weather in Calgary, wait 15 minutes. Or, if you do like it, get out in it quick, before it passes.
At 8 this morning the temp was 3.4C/38.1F and looked just ducky for a run. I was dressed to run, but needed to eat some breakfast. By the time I finished my toast, coffee and newspaper, the temp had dropped to -1C/30.2F and the wind was blowing the BBQ cover around the deck (what’s it doing off the BBQ?).
Now we have a full scale blizzard in effect 90 minutes later, and it’s -2.1C/28.22F, with the snow whipping sideways.
If it were a XC race day, I’d be out there with my race reds and jingle bells on. Since it’s not, and I can still do my weekend run tomorrow…
I’m going shopping.
All Downhill From Here 
I gave up on my BBQ cover a year ago because the wind kept blowing it off and throwing it around the yard. The bad thing is that the push-button ligher fills with water, freezes, cracks, and then doesn’t work. I replaced 3 before figuring it out. Duh.
And, yes, shopping sounds like a good plan in those conditions.

Ah, the weather. What are we going to do about it?
Talking about BBQs. This year I’m having a BBQ for New Year’s Eve right here in my tiny appartment with an electric BBQ that is nothing more than a piece of junk. I suppose the intention is what counts. Besides, my friends would be just as happy if I didn’t cook anything provided I still supply them with beer. Pass the Coronas!
