I'm pretty sure it's been said that the Job of Weather Forecasting is the same as Throwing Hand Grenades and/or Horseshoes where you only need to be close to still get paid.
Accuweather.com on Feb 28th has the forecast in Ponoka on May 6th as "warmer with partial sunshine, high 17C, low 4C" ... rather encouraging 2 months in advance
... otherwise we charter a car-carrier on that train
... as it also says possible snow/rain earlier in the week ... yoikes!

Weather in Alberta is always a crapshoot anyway. I have scraped frost off my windows in the morning on the way to a car show where in the afternoon I got a sunburn. I have driven from +10 degrees at my house to snow at a car show (at the end of May), and as a motorcycle rider I have seen snow in every single month of the year in this province.
Accuweather has a 50% chance of being right about what the weather will be like tomorrow, let alone two months from now.
I, however, have a Corvette (and a Murphy on my back), which means that if I travel more than 150km to get to a location, it will likely precipitate at some point along the way.
Trust me. Bring a sweater, and hope you don't have to use it. lol.

It's stuff like this that makes for a great reason for me to convince someone when I do need the budget relaxed to buy that upgraded hand held device with an even larger screen eh !

Listen SN-III don't be slagging my Commodore 64. I just upgraded it to work at lightning speed with my dial up connection. Damn dogs keep eating the cord.
Since I left work I have never had an electronic "hand held" device so any screen would be larger than I have.
