Clearing winter storm"},"content":{"rendered":"

While much of the eastern part of North America has had some terrible winter storms this year, we in the west have had a relatively mild winter.  There are some storms, but in Alberta these have been short and separated by periods of warmer weather (thanks to the warming westerly Chinook winds).<\/p>\n

Still, within the Rocky Mountains winter storms can be dramatic and dump lots of snow.  At at distance, they seem beautiful to me.  A few photos of a storm in the Alberta Rockies viewed from the foothills of the great prairies.<\/p>\n
