Whatever the Weather

It is a beautiful and balmy -1 currently, a huge leap up from last Friday, which was -31. The sun is shining, there is no wind and everything is wonderful.
And here I thought anytime I wrote about the weather here in Whitehorse it would be a scathing rant about how for a month straight it was -35, blah blah blah...

We are experiencing unseasonably warm temperatures. The sun is high in the sky finally creeping over the tops of buildings and it feels great. The averages for this time of year is about -19 low and -7 high.

The month of December was unseasonably low. Then we experienced a freeing 'Chinook' warm wind, that saw Whitehorse soar to +7. Of course it didn't last.

Relish this warm weather, and get outside! Word of warning- if it melts, your car will get stuck somewhere. Mine came dangerously close to becoming a near-permanent exhibit next to the grounded steamship. Oh and avalanches. Warm weather loves avalanches, sitting hungrily in wait for an unsuspecting person to unsettle the ground enough to 'WHOOMP' a pile of snow and cover cars, people...
