March Winds

Freezing temperatures and snow lingered until last Saturday.  Then the temperature rose and the snow was totally melted by Monday.  The wind howled last night.  It was warm until this morning and although it is still above freezing, there are a few snowflakes in the air.

The bad news about the fast melt is that the city water system couldn't keep up with purifying the water.  Now we are under a boil water advisory and are asked to conserve water by not using car washes, washing machines and dishwashers as well as not taking long showers.  The bottled water in Lethbridge was sold out yesterday.

We have some emergency water storage - a few bottles of water and some containers full of water - a two week supply of water for two people.

Our Emergency Water Supply

 Not much has been going on here.  We drove to Cardston in freezing weather on March 1st for our ward temple day.  Not many ward members turned out.  (I really don't blame people. It was just about the coldest day of the year.   In fact the night before I told Bob we would be crazy to drive in that weather.)

On Thursday the 6th we watched Taylor play her last league game for the basketball season.

Sue-anne dropped in for a few minutes on Tuesday.

I found daylight saving time hard to adjust to this year.  I was too tired to do anything the first three days.  Yesterday was better.

Such is our life.  It is great to be able to drive on dry pavement.
