I will be doing my bit to create a wind free Okanagan this Christmas so Sylvan should blow !
I hope you all get together and turn this into a 3rd annual Alberta meet. I'll be thinking of you as I stand there wondering where the wind is ! ;-)

If you can believe AccuWeather it is supposed to warm up a bit after Christmas and snow Friday Dec 28. My vote so far is Thursday Dec 27 forecast is
cloudy, high -7C, winds ENE 11kph gusting to 31. Should be good direction.
The weekend winds are much lighter and frigid flurries this weekend.
I don't know if they are driving on the lake yet but we are kiting on Ghost down here and it has been consistently a lot colder in Red Deer and north.

I'll miss you too BR & shaggs. Conditions here for Christmas are pretty frigid for someone (like me) from the wet coast (-30 windchill) but we are
getting a bit of new snow.
Another look at weather. Both WindGURU and Windfinder predict light (2-4kph) wind and cold (-20) on Thursday  but Accuweather is now predicting S 8-14 kph . WindGURU and Windfinder predict Friday is better (9-11kph),
Saturday is good (11-17kph).
I am good to change to any day. What works for everyone else?

If anyone else was planning to go Kelly & I talked and we agreed it would be great to get together but there will be a better day when more people
can get out so Sylvan is postponed for now.
I'll be out at Ghost Friday if the promised wind shows up...
revpaul - Seasons Greetings to you too. It was great to see you this summer. I'll make it up to Cooking sometime this winter.
