First Snowfall

Saturday was the perfect fall day, sunny, warm, and ideal for raking.

Sunday we had dark skies, rain and then snow, and a multitude of car accidents.

Today, Monday, it’s cold and clear and dazzlingly bright, as sunlight reflects off the snow.

Tuesday the forecast is for warmth again. The snow will melt, the streets will be swamps, and we’ll all enjoy a day or two of spring fever.

I can’t imagine what this is like for visitors to the city, struggling to magically pull the right clothes out of their suddenly much too small suitcases. But for Calgarians, this is perfectly, delightfully normal.
