Oh Southern Alberta – blue sky to cloud shroud in 5 minutes

CARDSTON –  If you’re a Southern Albertan, you’ve probably heard the oft-quoted phrase “If you don’t like the weather, just wait a minute”. We’re accustomed to seeing rapid changes in weather around this region.

OK – granted, most Southern Albertans don’t like the weather we’re dealing with right now and we’d like it if Old Man Winter and Mother Nature would stop the hissy fit, but you still have to be in awe of the forces at work.

While it sometimes takes longer than a minute for weather to transition, the short duration in change is not an exaggeration.
