Today along the Bow River - October 2012

A few hardy drift boaters got out ahead of the snow flurries.  
It was 5 °C at mid-day Tuesday when this photo was taken.

This lovely specimen was curled up next to the Bow River, protected from the chilly wind.

Early Season Snow

Snow started falling for the first time this season Tuesday, and flurries can be expected to carry on into Wednesday in parts of southern Alberta. By the end of the day, though, the sun returns, and another warm up begins. By the Thanksgiving weekend, temperatures will return to the teens, and we'll be in for some delightful long weekend weather.
