Your City Hall spent all week staring at the clouds
Good morning from the coulees — the wind's up, the sky's wide, and Lethbridge has something to say.
Look, if you wanted to know what Lethbridge City Hall was up to this past week, you didn't need to check the council agenda. You just had to look out the window, same as them. From Monday right through Friday, the talk of the halls wasn't about budgets or bylaw amendments. It was about the weather.
### The Great Blizzard Watch of March
Seems our city officials were less concerned with civic policy and more with meteorology. The big news, if you can call it that, was the collective neck-craning and horizon-watching.
* Everyone was bracing for the wild weather moving across the prairies. * The chatter was about blizzards and snow, not new spending. * It felt like the city was holding its breath, waiting for whatever the *Píítsii* (Eagle, referring to the weather) would bring.
It's a common enough thing out here. You live with this land, with the Oldman River flowing through the *Sikoohkotok* (black-rock place, referring to the coulees), and the weather dictates a lot more than you'd think. This week, it dictated City Hall's entire focus.
