NOVEMBER-LIKE CONDITIONS IN AUGUST
I haven't paid attention to what it's like in other places on earth, but the weather in Lacombe has been terrible lately. Saturday was decent, at about 20 degrees, but then it dropped dramatically, getting cooler on Sunday and a high of only roughly 12 degrees today. And tomorrow's supposed to reach 10! I've heard of snow hitting Alberta this time of year before, but I'm just not ready for this kind of weather yet.
It's interesting how little people here know about Prince George here. I tell them it's in northern BC and they automatically think that means it'd be colder than here. But the summers there are actually warmer than central Alberta for the most part. And I can't recall snow ever hitting PG in August. Not in my lifetime. I'm not going to freak out just yet though, unless I do happen to see some snow flakes falling from the sky. It's just too bad my parents chose this week to go camping in Alberta. They're in Edmonton tonight, and then proceed into the Lacombe-area tomorrow where they'll spend two nights camping nearby. Unfortunately I won't be able to join them when they leave here Thursday, en route to Green Lake, where there's a reunion for my mom's side of the family. Oh well.
Weather aside, I have this coming weekend off and I plan to take another trip, probably just to Red Deer. I can't see myself camping if the weather doesn't warm up. And I get paid again Friday which is a bonus.
Other news relating to my life:
- finally our newsroom is back to three reporters with the addition of James, who is filling the news reporting position. He seems like a nice guy who's into golfing, which is great, because I haven't found too many golf partners yet.
- As I mentioned before, my parents are coming into Lacombe County to camp tomorrow and Wednesday night. They're bringing in their new fifth wheel they picked up in Edmonton.
- My editor and publisher have committed to allowing me to take off Friday, Sept. 9 so I can make a trip to Kamloops.
Okay, not not too much going on, but that'll change. I'm plan on going drinking this weekend.
