So let's talk about the weather...

Last Saturday Grande Prairie recorded it's all-time record high temperature of 35.6 Celsius (96.08 F.). Friday and Sunday also broke their records for those respective days. Hot days for pouring concrete...

I suppose that most places in the world would regard this "high" as absurdly low... But it is pretty high for us. The lowest temperature I ever remember experiencing in Grande Prairie was -56 C (-68.80 F). That is a differential of 91.6 degrees Celsius (164.88 F), which is pretty substantial.
