Budget YYC Lot Pictures - April 2nd

[PedalFaster]

I don't know when exactly I'll be back -- it depends on when UrbanX tells me they're done mounting my tires. I'll text you when I have a specific day and time.

It's still days away, but right now Environment Canada says it's going to be 15 degrees on Saturday. If so, and the lot's looking reasonably clear on Friday, we should consider having a shoveling party on Saturday to clear the remaining snow.

The intention is to do setup on Saturday in any case. 

Let me know.

I drove by the lot very early this morning when our flight got in and I'd say about 75% of the snow is gone. Seems like the majority of the snow is just stuck around the perimeter (it was pitch black though).

Paul T. was by there this morning (8:15 am) and text'd me this photo ... looks pretty good in the middle with puddles and dry spots ... and snow along the edges.   Probably the original snow drifts along the fences where it would pile up but they are probably gone for the most part today.  I might drive by tomorrow - not sure yet.

[Reijo]

Lot is ready....mostly dry... a few minor drifts at edges that do not matter.

10-20 cm of snow forecast for tomorrow and Tuesday: https://weather.gc.ca/warnings/report_e.html?ab12#120212317837329657201804150501ww1575cww.

That is a new forecast but it looks like that is for south 1/2 of Alberta so who knows exactly what we will get locally.

However, the rest of the week is good.  The snow will be gone within 2 days which would be typical for spring weather here.  We get these dumps in the spring and then they melt pretty much right away.

Good thing I did not change my tires today ... studded tires are still on!

I dropped off the PA and glasses this afternoon before they closed.

Lot looks pretty good ... will load more photos on the FB page.

Then checked for asphalt patching materials at Home Depot ....think we'll have a work day and setup day next Saturday so we can have more lot for our course.   See if we can remove more curbs and such.
