From the Editor's Computer

We certainly have been experiencing winter weather the last month and a half. Between the bitterly cold winds and the dump of snow, we have been kept busy shoveling on a number of days as the snow seems to keep falling and get swirled about.

I admit I am a winter fan, though not a –30 windchill winter fan! On those really cold days, I prefer to be inside where it is nice and warm.

While we may moan and complain about the winter weather, we are fortunate in Alberta as our winters are not all bitter cold. Every once in while, we are treated to the warmth of a Chinook blowing through.

I’m sure you’ll agree with me that the balmy temperatures of the past week were a very welcome respite from the bone-chilling temperatures of the previous weeks. Suddenly winter doesn’t seem so bad, or so long!

That little taste of almost-spring is just what we need to get us through the rest of the winter months.
