Heads up, Edmonton.
A FIRE BAN is now in effect as dry, windy and hot conditions are creating a recipe for fire nastiness. #yeg #yegcc #yegwx

Fire ban in Edmonton means no:
open burning
fireworks
backyard fire pits
cooking stoves and BBQs that use fuels such as wood and briquettes #yeg #yegwx #yegcc

Officials will emphasize with compliance over enforcement on fire ban.
But they add they will use fines and charges if necessary - and oh, that could include paying for all emergency costs tied to any fire you start.

I did not think that I would be beekeeping 🐝 in January but was contacted by a family that spotted a wild honeybee colony in a tree 🌲 toppled by Tuesday’s Snow Squall 💨

I was teaching a bee course and wasn’t able to check out the honeybees until this morning - so the family went back and covered the exposed colony with a blanket and tarp.
Yay, family!!

The bees made their home in a hollow cavity at the base of an old spruce tree. They looked like they’d been there for 3 or 4 years.
Unfortunately, the rot that created the cavity undermined the structural integrity of the tree.

Believe it or not, we've reached the midpoint of #yegwinter. #yegwx
The average temperatures won't really start rising for another few weeks, but they also bottomed-out a few weeks ago...1/

...and we're just passed the point of peak -20°C.
We will inevitably have more cold days before the end of winter, but from now on the likelihood of getting those starts to drop. 2/

And so what has Winter 2018-2019 brought us so far?
November started quite cold (September & October were also very cold), but since then things have generally been above average.
Notably, there have been no deepfreezes. Last winter (in red) there were a few by now. 3/
