Snow Sunday — bundle up, catch some live music tonight
It's a stay-cosy kind of day. Light snow, early dark, and a couple of reasons to get out before sunset hits at 6:23.
Morning's sitting at minus 2, but the wind's making it feel more like minus 6, so layer up if you're heading anywhere. Light snow's falling steady—nothing dramatic, but enough to keep things white and slippery underfoot. UV's barely a blip at 1.0, so you're not worried about sun exposure today. The real thing is that daylight's already getting tight; you've got just over 10 hours, which means if you want to be outside, now's the time.
If you're heading up to the foothills, check road conditions before you go—things can turn quick up there in this kind of weather.
Couple of stories worth knowing: Calgary police are still searching for a 70-year-old man named Raymond who's been missing since Friday from Foothills Medical Centre. If you've got any information, reach out to them. On a brighter note, W.H. Croxford High's Cavaliers just claimed their first RVSSA football title in freezing conditions—ended Cochrane's run on top, which is a big deal around here.
Alberta's heading into flu season proper, and hospitals are ramped up with nearly 9,000 acute-care beds ready to go. If you've been meaning to get your flu shot, this is a good week to do it.
If you're thinking about eating out, Inglewood's got Rain Dog Bar if you're after rotating menus and some of the best craft beer in town. Pizza craving? There's a solid handful of spots worth the trip—Pizza Culture, Noble Pie, and Sinatra's are all doing it right. And if you need a sugar fix, Krispy Kreme's got the Hot Light running again at the Calgary Theatre Factory location.
Evening-wise, you've got Cavalry FC taking on Vancouver FC at Spruce Meadows at 2:00 PM if you want to catch some live soccer before the light goes. That's your afternoon play. Then if you're feeling it, Digable Planets are at The Palace Theatre tonight at 8:00 PM—hip-hop meets jazz nostalgia, the kind of show that hits different on a snowy Sunday. Bundle up getting there, or skip the weather entirely and stay cozy indoors with a show on.
Stay warm out there, and watch your step in the snow.
