Heat Wave!

[Thorin]

It's warmer now than it was in the middle of the day, and the temperature is just gonna keep climbing all night. Tomorrow we'll be near-melting! Yay!

[Mr. Analog]

This week is gonna be bad, not so much because we'll see the sun and have a few warm days but from all the melting and what that's gonna do to the sidewalks UGH

Anybody got magnetic shoes?

We have been in a frequent freeze thaw cycle out here, has been kind of nuts for icy conditions. Also pot holes have been forming like mad.

Still very warm by Edmonton standards however..

Looking at the full list they tested, basically everything failed in the casual category and the few recommended that passed passed only by the minimum rating.
