Overnight on March 7th and 8th a weather front rolled through Alberta. There were high winds pretty much province wide, and the temperature plummeted. Out at Nordegg we had the wind, and the temperature dropped to well below zero. We got a light dump of about an inch or two of fresh snow. That made things rather treacherous as the new snow concealed all the icy patches that remained.
Two trees came down across our driveway, and Helena rolled them out of the way before I had a chance to get out and do it. These were standing dead trees that were between our firepit and the edge of the driveway. They had been dead for some time and I probably should have taken them down some time ago. Fortuneatly they didn't do any damage, and they can stay there until I have a chance to cut them up for firewood.
When I took a run over to the dump on Monday I noticed that quite a number of trees had come down in the area. There was a large one that had dropped on a cottage in the subdivision. It was about 15 lots or so away from us, and I don't know the owners.
When I drove back home to the city I saw evidence of wind damage all the way. Numerous trees had come down along the roadsides pretty much all the way home.
