Yep that's snow

[Mortblanc]

You got our snow of last week SS. It was a bit but nothing to write home about.

We had a warm system move out and cold move in last night. Yesterday high was about 15c and today will be about -15c.

It will drop all night tonight and hit -30 or close to that with a high for tomorrow predicted at -20.

That is for my area and just miles down the road it will be different.

There is very little snow attached to this system. It is dry high pressure cold. One of their "polar vortex" things.

Got to have a fancy label for everything! When I was a kid they were called Arctic Highs, continental high pressure systems that were cold, dry and moved rapidly. That was part of the standard training in geography from kindergarten to University.

Then they became "Alberta Clippers" and since the global warmers took over the media they have become "Polar Vortex" and occur due to "global warming".

Oddly we have several places here in the states that are famous for their vortexes. Movie stars, hippies, and other weirdos gather in those locations to contact the spirit world, aliens, or sometimes dead relatives to find out where they hid the lock box key.
