Global Warming???

It's hard to imagine global warming when we're hit with a series of spring storms here in Alberta. Don't you just hate these depressing storms?! I'm just glad I haven't taken my snow tires off yet. It's been nice and warm and sunny here - the trees are budding out, tulips are blossoming, grass is green, and then...wham...this morning we awoke to piles of snow and fierce howling winds. It was over by suppertime, but it'll take a few days for the snow to melt.

You'll have to excuse the quality of the following pictures taken in Sara's front yard - they were taken with my phone - but you get the idea!


Beautiful frosted tulips.


Rose bushes bowed down by the heavy wet snow.


Almost buried yellow tulip


Ditto - red tulip


And a final shot of the rose bushes.
Lloyd and I are off to Winnipeg tomorrow morning. Hopefully when we get back on Sunday it'll be spring again.

Or maybe it'll just be hitting Wpg when you get there! One of my front yard trees is severely bent over from the weight of that watery snow. Hope it straightens up soon. And weather in Pheonix is 36!!!
Have fun in Wpg!
