Beautiful hoar frost in the Weaselhead last week, when Calgary was blanketed by it.

Due to the current water situation in Calgary, the Glenmore Reservoir will experience higher than usual level fluctuations for this time of year
This results in unsafe ice conditions
Remember:
⚠️ Reservoirs are not Lakes
💧Water flows in and out
💧Ice forms unevenly
💧Levels rise and fall
💧Cracks occur
#HappyNewYear from the wildlife of the Weaselhead!

Removing Yellow Clematis from the Weaselhead!
These vines grow rapidly either along the ground or will climb and cover other shrubs/trees, which is why we want them gone!
