You got out of Calgary a day or two before their freak early snowstorm.
You got out of Manitoba with plenty of time to spare. We were at 21°C on Tuesday, and the snowstorm hit on Friday, giving us 3 foot drifts, over a foot of wet heavy snow, and knocking out power to over 50,000 customers. The Trans Canada highway was closed for a day and a half, and many of the back highways are just opening now. Our premier called for a state of emergency yesterday in order to deal with all the power outages.
It would seem like the Pearce family rides the good weather through, leaving the bad weather in their wake.
Seriously though, I hope you got a good impression of Canada. You were talking about a foray into Quebec. Did you make it into there?
