Downtown blue shoot YYC

Second Winter?

Found this gem on Reddit. We had a late snowfall this year, starting in December. It's made for a very snowy year. It's one of the snowiest in recent memory, and for some, ever. Accumulation has been a problem because we haven't had many chinooks. The annual snow budget is done for 2018, and it's only March! 

As many already know, in this city, you don't take off the winter tires until May long, which is late this year, the end of May. So hang on tight, lots of snow still to come. It's th eprice pay for a 'mild' Fall.

Ducks Away!

Canada geese nest every year on U of C grounds. This year the Kines department set up some landing pads for the enormous jump goslings had to make. Awesome.

Flames Done

If you are a Calgary flames fan this season is done. What's interesting is we haven't heard very much from your subgroup after their debacle at the beginning of the season. THe public has slammed the group for trying to sway opinion polls to their favour, seeking billions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies for a new arena.

It would've help their cause if the team was a winner. Despite a team playing up to the cap, a great team "on paper", the season revealed huge deficiencies as they fell well short of their intended goal. There will be a number of off-season moves. Expect it. You can't be in their position, with the talent they have, or thought they had, and post the results they did.

Tough to be a fan in this city. But I guess we can wait until the fall until the season starts again in Oct where we can watch more Flames, and also the Calgary Stampeders lose another Grey cup final.
