Its not unusual for snow to fall in April or May in Calgary, but the amount it snowed on Friday was something to be seen. 15cm, with temperatures down to -13C on yesterday! This is the 2nd storm in a week. I heard Vancouver got a bit of snow as well, while its over 25C in the East. At least its good to know I can fly out, and it'll be the last time I'll feel that kind of cold for six more months.

Overall a very productive weekend. Got some work done at the old office, had some good sushi and creative appetizers at the new Zen 8 on the old Benny's 4th Ave & 3rd St location, Andre's birthday, Mark & Jen's beautiful wedding at The Ranche in Fish Creek, and some 45 cent per minute indoor golfing to boot!

Traveler's tip: You CAN bring hockey sticks onboard a Westjet plane, and they don't count as an extra checked bag as long as you check a hockey bag with it. I was misinformed by the agent at the YVR airport when I departed, so I brought two non-hockey related bags and my sticks back. The agent there didn't charge me the $40 baggage fee, but put on "my record" that I've been told I can't get away with that next time. Also, hockey equipment bypasses the standard size/weight limits, so no extra fees apply.
