Thursday

They have not had much rain in those areas for a few years, which is unusual and I remember reading, probably about a year ago, that the melting of the icebergs had a lot to do with our changing weather in Canada. Climate change is being experienced here everyday. In our area of southern Alberta, they are calling for storms and more rain this weekend than in the last 3 months and we have had a lot of rain already this spring. I will wait and see, the one thing here is, they are really bad a predicting the weather.
