For those keeping score, the official high temperatures for Sunday-Monday-Tuesday in Edmonton this week were 19.2°C (with a rather stiff breeze), 22.7°C, and 20.2°C. So, Accuweather forecast was closer; the Environment Canada forecast was overly cautious.

I hope you all were able to get out & enjoy it. Because both forecasts agree that at least 3 of the next 4 days will have highs of 1°C or less. With snow. ☃️

I'm working on a new arrangement of Ian Tyson's "Springtime in Alberta". I played my current (country-folk) arrangement at the funk-etc jam on Sunday (where there is no patio, but they had the doors wide open to let in the warm air), then afterwards started to wonder if I could somehow turn it into a soul-funk song. I think I've got the tweaked vocal melody down, now just have to practice the bass line.

The lyrics remain the same: "Must be springtime in Alberta. Warm, sunny days; endless skies of blue. Then without a warning, another winter storm comes raging through..."
