If you could use a warm thought today maybe a 360° virtual bike ride on some of Edmonton's beautiful paths and trails could help. Was 23C at 9am on July 15th. Currently -30C at noon on the 1st day of winter. youtu.be/7m7f9uEqrUo

Is bluesky social still happening? Anybody get on it yet? I sure hope it's still coming. Twitter is the only sm I am on and It's become such a cesspit that I have a hard time looking at it anymore.

As this is the first day of spring, here is the earliest storm photo I could find in my photo albums. Instamatic mammatus shot from spring of 1972 looking towards Red Deer from Sylvan Lake. We used to call em hail bags.

Just tried to browse the abstorm tag and I can't do it. It is 99.97% spam, how can it be used for reporting? Does anyone know if EC³ even watches this tag anymore?
