The snow covered roof of the Core Mall.
Having left the mall, we headed for the Joey Eau Claire steakhouse (formerly Joey Tomatoes), where we had a very nice dinner before heading for the airport.
We had completely forgotten to factor in that we would be trying to leave downtown Calgary at 5pm on a Friday afternoon. The combination of the weather and the traffic made for a very stressful drive to the airport indeed. It took us over one-and-a-half hours to drive eight miles, including a stop on the hard shoulder of an eight lane highway to try to remove some of the blocks of ice that had accumulated on our windscreen wipers. That was not entertaining at -23C.
However, we did eventually make it to the airport in one piece.
