Thursday's cool start, live music tonight, and road heads-up.
Six degrees, partly cloudy—layer up for the commute. Music and shows waiting after work.
Morning's 6°C and crisp, so pull on a jacket before you head out. Sun's weak at UV 4, but you'll still want sunscreen if you're outside long. Sunset hits 7:30, so if you're planning an evening somewhere, you've got about twelve hours before dark.
Check the foothills if you're heading that way this morning—Highway 1's got some work happening around Lac des Arcs, and they're doing a temporary closure on that popular viewpoint for safety rebuilds. Nothing major backing up the Deerfoot or the Henday as far as early reports go, but give yourself a few extra minutes if you're mountain-bound.
On the local front: police have charged three men after seizing prohibited guns and 3D-printed weapons in Coventry Hills this week. Separately, there was a shooting at a house in Martindale overnight while a family was inside sleeping—they're looking for witnesses if you were in the area. And there's a planning vote happening today on a 56-unit supportive housing project in Meridian, if that kind of development stuff matters to you.
If you're thinking lunch or an early dinner, Pizza Culture's been ranked 80th best pizzeria in the world on the 50 Top Pizza list—only Canadian spot that made the cut. Over The Top Pop Shop just opened their first Calgary location up on Crowfoot this week too, if you're after sweets. Southern comfort's coming to the southeast with Revelwoods Tavern moving into the old Bookers space.
Tonight's got real energy if you're staying out after work. Bring Me The Horizon's at the Saddledome with Motionless in White and The Plot in You—if that's your lane, doors are 7. NOTD's playing Commonwealth Bar at 7 as well. Skerryvore's over at Bella Concert Hall at 7:30 if you want something different. Alberta Ballet's running Giselle too if theatre's more your speed. Plenty to choose from, and indoor's the call with the cooler weather.
Stay warm out there, and catch you tomorrow.
