Default The storm is near :(

Sounds like Alberta is going to get hammered with a week long storm starting tonight ...

Lots of snow and heavy winds by the sounds of it..

Button down the hatches..

Snowing in GP and the Roads are getting slick...

Heading out to get some movies and gut rot snacks and maybe something to sip on.....

Perhaps tonight we'll try that "alien box of electronic evil" (insert Wii) as we have had one for a year but too intimidated to do much more than talk about it now and then and look at it...we picked up the controller once and tried to turn the game on, but the controller had a seizure and frightend us back to the safety of our DVD player...
