Angela: Freezing & Anne: Overheating

I was talking with Angela this morning on the phone. Over the past few days she has been freezing. And I have been dying of heat. I always asume the weather is the same there as it is here. Mostly because when we lived in Manitoba, we shared the same weather patern as my Parents in Saskatchewan, and Dales Parents in Edmonton. It went Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg. Not exactly, but we seemed to get their weather, just a few days later. Not so anymore. So I am posting a few webcams so I can check out my friends Weather!!!

Being Canadian the weather is very Important!!!

WINNIPEG

SASKATOON

EDMONTON

MAPLE RIDGE (this is a traffic Camera, but it looks in the General direction of my house)

VANCOUVER



As a side note as I was searching for Webcams I came across this story about Park Bridge,




near Golden, BC. It seems we(kevin, my Dad, Dale & I) have been talking about it. It is a Massive Bride near Golden BC, on the #1 Highway to Calgary. click for the Full Story. They completed it earlier than scheduled, and we drove under it on our way to Saskatoon, It is intimidating.
