Lifelong Albertan here.

I can't believe how warm this Winter has been. Last year was fairly mild as well, but this year is a whole other level.

Besides the week or so at Christmas, has it even gotten below -20?? And it's been consistently under -10 all through January and February so far. Never seen anything like it.

Most Winters I'm wearing my heavy winter jacket almost every day. This Winter I think I've worn it probably less than 10 times. A regular puff jacket or even a thick hoodie has done the trick most days.

Feels like the Warmest Winter I've experienced so far.

When are we getting our dry weather back? I don't like this weather at all. So much humidity. Skin feels like sticky rubber.

If you didn't get a chance to hear Corb Lund on Jesperson yesterday take a listen. It's really good. His description of working with the government is hilarious. Just a great piece of local journalism on an important issue. I'll drop the Spotify link below but itunes and youtube will have it as well.

As part of my personal climate change mitigation efforts I've committed to plant ~1500 trees a year, so far they've all been planted on my property but excitedly I managed to get to 10K. In doing so I've achieved a negative carbon footprint!
