Be safe on those roads! It was so awful yesterday and I'm surprised Highway 1 wasn't closed to be honest. Of course there were numerous huge trucks with snowmobiles in the back hauling *** down the highway. Scary!!! The roads within Calgary are awful. They are covered with packed snow and it's -20 C. I have good winter tires and I'm sliding around like crazy. Glad I don't work tomorrow!
It's called broccoflower and it's a cross since they are both Brassica. You can also get an orange one with beta-carotene, not sure how they get that one, it may be just another variety.
Well, I didn't make it in to work last night... left the house prepared for a long slow drive in, but got 25 feet from my driveway and high centered. Called the boss in town & she (apparently) went out in my place. Snow is continuing to fall and in some places the Hwy has a foot despite constant clearing by all the plows. Residential areas have been left as the crews concentrate on access to emergency services like hwy, hospital, ambulance and fire stations. Some areas have 5 feet of snow. Feels a bit like Buffalo earlier this winter. Couldn't make it in to my other job this morning either, no plowing has been done yet - 1/2 the town is closed, schools, bus service, etc. I don't even think Fed-Ex will be in to pick up the documents anyhow since the Hwy is closed in both directions due to an avalanche last night and continuing avalanche control.
Supposed to patrol tonight but the Severe Winter Storm Warning is still continuing for today and into tomorrow. DH is off to clear my parents' roof as temps are expected to rise above freezing in a couple of days. What a mess things will be.
