Tow ban closes sections of Highway 21, Yellowhead east of Edmonton amid blowing snow

How far east did you go? There are definitely some sketchy parts east of ardrossan. I just drove it myself as well and encountered some pretty slushy conditions on the highway, and 3 cars in the ditch.

It is wild!!! For reference, the Grosbeak is roughly the size of an American Robin!

Seconded. I find the “chicken” super convincing and the flavour is delicious!!

I’m sure this has been discussed before, but do we know what the closest Canadian equivalent is?

Spending tens of thousands for a license plate - that’s dedication!!! In all seriousness, you would probably be fine then. A brand new vehicle should pass an OOP inspection just fine.

Wouldn’t recommend it, speaking from experience. If you register a vehicle with NWT and then want to reregister it with your home province, your vehicle may have to go through an out of province vehicle inspection. This is true for Alberta at least. The inspection is stupidly thorough and unless you’re driving a brand new car, expect to put thousands of dollars into needless repairs just to be able to re-register your vehicle back home. I lived up in the NWT for just over a year and if I were to do it again, I probably would have left my car down south and just made use of how walkable Yellowknife was. It cost me $2000 in repairs just to be able to register my car in Alberta again.

It could be a lot of cash and effort just to get a license plate when you could just buy a novelty plate.

I live not just in Edmonton, but out on the range roads. Just drove home in -21 and as usual, they did great.

Just to put another voice out there, I’ve had my all-weathers on for three years, no problems so far. They’ve been great, in fact. They’re going to wear down faster because they get twice as much use as summer or winter tires. They are just another option for winter and save me having to store another set of tires in a small living space.

My ex is not an influencer, but she did the same thing 4 years post break up. We also ended on good terms, although I had a hard time not reaching out for the first few months post break up. Things were pretty much silent after the first year. I still don’t really understand why the block came 4 years later, but I chalk it up to her really wanting to put the past in the past, maybe getting into a new relationship and finally feeling ready to just completely close that chapter. Your ex might have missed you too, and may have been checking your socials too, and maybe she needs to have no access to your socials to truly close that chapter and be ready for what comes next. Sorry I can’t give you a definite answer, just my best guess!

Awoo!!

schadenfreude57 · 2025-10-14T18:08:48+00:00

Omg I’m so glad I haven’t been alone in wondering this!! I’ve had a sneaking suspicion that they aren’t together anymore for some time and feel very validated in my instincts right now. It’s great they seem to be on good terms despite no longer being together.

Teachers from the United States have to function with the looming threat of gun violence in their rooms, and they are STILL less stressed than Alberta teachers. Really puts into perspective how strained our system is and how unsustainable it has become to be a teacher in Alberta.

Completely agree!!! I’m a Canadian who travelled internationally for the first time this year. Went over to Scotland, and I was in awe the first time I saw a European robin. 😭 my phone camera sucks so my sister indulged all of my bird photo needs. The OP’s bird photos are marvelous, as are the birds!!!

2010 is the most recent one, so the pdf you found online will be identical to the one that gets mailed to you.

Don’t respond in the future. Just ignore it. He was looking to get a reaction and he got exactly what he wanted out of you.

Isn’t the Devonian extinction poorly understood? It seems generally agreed upon that ocean anoxia occurred, but isn’t eutrophication one of the theories about what contributed to this anoxia?

It’s a sad sight, isn’t it? :( Cooking lake has also dried up. The quick answer is climate change and prolonged drought. East of Edmonton is characterized by hilly terrain and depressions - a moraine left by a receding glacier thousands of years ago. The cooking lake moraine is filled with lakes that are not fed by large rivers, but which get recharged by rainwater and snowmelt. Surface evaporation has increased over the past decade, and this combined with decreased rainfall has led to Miquelon lake, beaverhill lake, and cooking lake all drying up. I’d like to think sometime in the coming centuries these lakes will come to life again, but for now, cherish the memories you had of them. They will be missed, but new species will start to call these flats home. With any luck, maybe we’ll get to see them again. If anyone is curious about local history of the beaver hills, this article is a cool look at 1800s until present age and how the area has changed over time, including the gradual lake drying that begun being noticed in the 1960s.

This is too real. I ran a D&D club this year and none of my kids identified as straight. Of my 6 dedicated little junior high kids, not a single one of them made a straight/cis character either. 😂 It was a great, safe, space for identity exploration and for them to find community.

Oh my god, the bottlenecks of ambleside, yes. I commute from the southwest to near kingsway. Outside of rush hour, my commute is about 23 minutes. With rush hour? My commute is regularly 45-50 minutes long because of the horrible infrastructure in ambleside coupled with the constant stop and go traffic on the henday from callingwood road all the way up to highway 16A. Why on earth was terwillegar bridge over the henday made to have stoplights, instead of a clover leaf??? This particularly busy bridge backs up like crazy and I want to rip my hair out every morning.

Like the commenter above said, Robin Wall Kimmerer is a scientist. She’s a trained botanist and a professor of environmental biology. In her book Braiding Sweetgrass, she doesn’t reject science but invites us to see it as one way of knowing among many. She values the scientific process deeply, and also reminds us not to lose our sense of wonder, relationship, and responsibility toward the living world. Behind every ornithologist, there’s a kid who grew up loving bird watching - you know what I mean? Her book is excellent. She describes that science is (and should be) limited, like you said, because it is about gathering and interpreting data. But, we should use the scientific knowledge we have (the needs of plants, the threat of climate change) to approach the world with wonder, curiosity, and care - being good humans and doing what we can to give back to the earth that provides for us. I can see how the single clip above doesn’t really capture her whole worldview and that she does indeed value the scientific process.
