You have us beat, the highest I saw today here was 33 with a humidex of 43.
Now it's the evening, and it's apparently down to... 32, with a humidex of 43. So, you know, much nicer than earlier!
Apparently there was snow a couple of days ago in the mountains out here.
Saw a news article about that. Seems some places in Alberta got as much as 30cm. Yikes.
Yep. Those would be at higher elevations. I'm just shy of 3000 ft. here, and we've just had rain, though there's been a weather advisory for snow. It was foggy the other morning, but considering that there are so many wildfires going on now, it's sometimes hard to tell if it's fog or smoke.
It's about 11C here, which is chilly for this time of year. I'm going to be sleeping under my fleece TARDIS blanket tonight (best purchase I ever made from ThinkGeek when it was still in business - those blankets are large and comfy!).
It's supposed to be slightly cooler today with a high of 33 and a humidex of 42, but I won't be going for my lunchtime walk today. I had the luxury of working from home yesterday, but I'm in the office today, so I'd rather not be dripping with sweat at the office.
In the low 20s here, and there are rainclouds in the sky.
Yeah, it's much cooler today.
It's funny, I just noticed the text in your avatar. I used to live in the same "Sector" as you. I still work nearby.
commented this morning that it's gone from want to strip everything off to needing a sweater.
Hey people of Canadia! I'm looking for a specific drama I caught a few episodes of but not the end some years ago, and I hope my vague description will dredge up a name.
I have really enjoyed (for a given value of 'enjoy') some TV dramas about indigenous people going missing and the efforts to resolve them. 'Three Pines' and 'Alaska Daily' come to mind (both of which I wish they'd made more of) but this was before them, Can't remember exactly when, if I had to guess I'd say 2010 +/- 5 years. What I remember of the first ep is some law enforcement people stumbled on a body hidden in a ruined (stone?) house, they didn't know it was there. The main guy had a troubled past with authority, so is not getting a lot of support, but the female lead (partner?) thought he was on to something. the image that comes to mind is frozen blood on the floor of the house, or something like that. Not sure of it was 'Blackstone' or not. Is that show any good? Also any recommendations in a similar vein would be appreciated. Ta!

It's not ringing a bell for me, either. Mind you, I wasn't watching a lot of TV during those years.
Btw, there's no such thing as "Canadia".
Checking CBC Gem is a good idea, or maybe see if Wikipedia has a page for Canadian TV dramas.
The only gritty one I'm familiar with is DaVinci's Inquest (my grandmother enjoyed it, so I caught an episode here and there), but that was on a long time before the timeframe you're talking about.
Could it be Cardinal? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_(TV_series)
The description here of the first season sounds like it could be it.:
wikipedia said:
Great series btw.
@Owain Taggart that sounds very much like it! I shall investigate further. Thanks!
That'd be amazing seeing as it was a complete shot in the dark. But something in your description sounded familiar. It's a good thing I watch a lot of crime dramas 
And as it turns out, that one was filmed in my area.
