Crazy Saskatchewan Weather
It’s -31C right now, which is is about -24 degrees Fahrenheit. With wind chill it feels like -43C which is over -45F!!!
I feel really bad for anyone who has to go out today. Especially parents lugging around their little kids to and from daycare. Actually, all the schools in Saskatoon are closed today, so hopefully the parents can stay home where it’s warm and spend the day with their kids.
According to the news last night, the blizzard we had yesterday was the worst we’ve had in years. Today there are warnings all over the province and a lot of roads are closed.
Emergency crews were working around the clock yesterday to make sure all the stranded vehicles were empty. Lots of people were trapped in their cars for hours and there were even people stranded at business. Costco employees had blankets for their trapped customers and they even made them meals.
Did I mention I’m glad I got to stay home yesterday?

Yaa it took me 3 hrs to get home from work which takes usually 15-20 mins ,its close to airport. Circle was closed, downtown was closed(the bridge) it was PITA to get home, gave ride to 2 co-workers too, so had to drop them off in my little neon. Good car i would say, just got stuck once, at my parking lot when i was trying to park, and imagine the pain i had in my foot after all the driving (oh its a stick shift so had to clutch for continous 3 hrs).
Hoping not to see any such blizzard treats again.
