Cold Temperatures Are Here
After the great, above-average fall temperatures we received we knew the cold weather would arrive sometime. It is now here. The photo shows a temperature of -25C during mid-day, warmed up from a -32C morning. Average temps for this time of year in the Canadian Rockies are highs of -1C and lows of -10C. Most of the course is covered under 3-6" of snow but some greens have had snow blow off certain spots and are exposed. Under the snow cover the turf is -5C when the ambient temp was -25C. A good indicator of how good an insulator snow can be.
