    Default good old Calgary April weather

    ...so does this mean that I can put on my summer tires after this snow melts away?

    The power in our condo is constantly browning out right now.. I'm on the laptop to keep the main PC from getting damaged.

    yup, superstore country hills lost all power and they kicked everyone out.

    Just hope it doesn't freeze too bad over night.

    My light have been flickering for a good 45 min now. ya maybe I should shut down the PC too haha.

    Doesn't look like this snow is sticking to the roads at least.

    I'm glad for this snow though. The ground has been soo dry and there's been some major grass fires. Hell, i've been worried someone's going to drop a lit cigarette on my lawn.

    We lost power for about 10 minutes. I have a bitchin UPS on my cable modem and router tho so I kept myself entertained. Granted, I know kenny has a much more bitchin UPS to run everything in his home

    Last April we had 2 major snowfalls so I wouldn't switch the tires just yet!

    In before the 'calgary weather sucks I can't move my car on summer tires and i'm moving somewhere else warmer' or 'it's been 2 hrs why hasn't the city plowed my street' complaint.

    Just saw a G35/37 on the side of the road (blocking one lane) up 17th Ave SW, past sarcee. As well... a white C63 powering up the hill with his hazards on.

    The brownouts seem very widespread. I'm way up in Kincora, and they at least reach East on Country Hills, and then all the way down to Coach Hills. (At least).

    Wonder what's up?

    I too complained about the weather, but really, this is Calgary... where it often tends to be a little messed.

    I just got a call from work. Part of our job involves keeping an eye on power all over the province, and they're reporting that there is power hits all over Southern Alberta. Not just Calgary.

    You might want to shut down anything that is susceptible to brownouts and minor surges.

    Panorama Hills is a gong snow right now dont know where the hell this came from.... my power keeps flickering and going off in certain zones odd......ps Benyl=Baller
    A Ferrari is a high maintenance chick, you spend money regardless of what you do with her. You can baby the C63, or slap on all seasons, and you won't be spending anything but yearly maintenance. Of course that's like dating a stripper and refusing to fuck her, which would make you gay.
