A 'chilly' Thanksgiving week at Palermo

There's snow on top of Mount San Jacinto and the residents of Palermo Palm Springs are swapping shorts for long pants. The forecast for Thanksgiving is a high of 64 F with an overnight low of 40 F. But there should be plenty of sunshine. A Canadian owner puts it all in perspective for us. He writes: "While I appreciate snow on the San Jacinto Mountains certainly bodes cooler temps for Palm Springs, today's forecast in Calgary, Alberta- even friggin colder. minus 38 (that's celsius!!!) with the windchill. According to the news, we are the 2nd coldest place in the world right now. Antartica is 1st ~ BURR, BURR and more BURR. How I long for Palermo!!!!" Only the South Pole was colder? Here's a picture from downtown Calgary. Here's also a Web link to the Calgary Herald's Global News video. The forecast for today in Calgary is 14 F. Vancouver is 23 F. Toronto is the hot spot at 36 F. Many of you know that one of the big stories for Palermo in 2010 has been the number of people from the Far North who have bought condos here. At least six units this year have gone into Canadian hands, on top of those already owned by Canadians. Miss Penny Lane says: She has a lovely autumn-inspired sweater she's broken out and has a cup of hot chocolate for any of the Canucks down this way for the holiday week.
