Let It Snow!
Matt tells a funny story about not touching snow on the ground until he was 21 and that has inspired him to allow wordpress.com hosted blogs like this one to have “snow falling” until January 2nd! I took the chance :) Thanks Matt!
Wicked Storm Last Night!
We had one of the strongest storms that I have ever witnessed last night including 1/2 inch of rain in 15 minutes with ping pong ball sized hail and strong winds! I have a couple of photos of my place after the 1st of 2 storms that hit and some other photos [...]
Kananaskis Trip
We decided that we needed to get away for a couple of days, so we head back out to K Country! There is something about camping out in the mountains that can’t be beat. Scary stuff when you are warned many times over about the bears, but that [...]
Before Hell Breaks Loose
Photos from a recent storm that hit our area!
I love storm season in Canada!
Calgary Flooding From Rainfall!
I left my house and there was 1/4 inch of rainfall. By the time I hit Calgary, my wife told me we had 3/4 inch of rainfall. By the time I drove home, we had 1.5 inches of rain. The storm was devastating to the roads [...]
Spring Has Arrived! Or Has It?
I have grass cattle showing up at the ranch already because our area has little moisture….someone forgot to tell Mother Nature about that this year!
Spring Storms
We are finally starting to get some spring storms at the ranch. Storms mean moisture and moisture means grass. All good. Here is a shot of one of those storms from tonight:
Spring Water Drops
Spring always brings out some really great shots of water falling. Here are a few that I have caught so far this spring (check out them all at Flickr!):
I will really get some good ones over the next few days as well because we are heading to +10 Celsius this [...]
Amazing Sunset Tonight
I also have to share this amazing sunset that I came across on my way home tonight. It really was breathtaking. The photos were taken outside of Drumheller, Alberta, Canada. I knew the days was going to give great sunsets today because of the 12 degree weather today.
Amazing what the [...]
Prepare For Winter (Again)
I am hearing through the grapevine that a monster storm is going to blanket Alberta. It is going to get nasty. Right now seems like the calm before the storm. I did some research and here is what I found:
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER CENTRAL BRITISH COLUMBIA WILL GENERATE STRONG WINDS OVER SOUTHWESTERN ALBERTA TODAY. [...]
Weather Like A Pumphandle
Welcome to Canada. 4 days ago we set a 100 year record for the coldest temperature day in history (for that day) where I live. It was -33 degree C and with the wind was around -48 degrees C. That was so cold that it was recommended that [...]
Spring Is Finally Here
Well, it was a mild winter with only a few bumps upon the road! We had a pretty good spring with a few storms, but nothing too bad! Here at Dorothy Ranch we have all our grass cattle out and they are doing really great!
I wish all of you a great spring!
Cold Weather Strikes Again!
I just had another battle with the bathroom freezing up. After re-plumbing the toilet in the men’s room to use water from the sink I was able to go 2 days with no problems.
Tonight the sinks cut out! Too fucking cold under the building I guess! I ran a space heater down 2 feet from [...]
What the HELL happened to SPRING???
Did you know that on June 21st, we will be celebrating the 1st day of summer! What a joke considering that we are having some of the worst SPRING weather this year eh!?
I am not sure what is going on with the weather! We are having freak storms all over the province and some places [...]
