Gusty north winds continue to reduce visibility in blowing snow in some areas. The gusty winds will diminish this evening. 5 to 13 centimetres of snow has fallen this afternoon through most of southern Alberta. An additional 10 centimetres can be expected in the eastern portions overnight, with only 5 to 10 centimetres expected west of lethbridge to the foothills. The heaviest snowfall is expected to be near the Cypress hills and closer to the Saskatchewan border. The snow is expected to taper off Friday morning.
The blizzard comes on “sneaky feet”,
with wind snow, ice, and sleet.
One more last run to gather in,
all the ingredients for the bin.
Shoveling the walk does not last,
we have to wait till the storm is past.
The freezer now full with filling meals, …
safe and warm is how it feels.
Now to cozy up the house with wondrous smells,
I am making bread so “all will be well”.
