We had planned on doing our plant surveys around Shaunavon today, so we left the hotel early in the morning to a fairly heavy rain. The further southwest we travelled, however, the colder it got. As the thermometer built into our rental truck registered zero degrees, the rain turned to sleet and then snow. The road were terrible, but after a couple hours of driving we found an accessible plot. The effort was futile, however, as the snow began moving north and our plot was covered with a blanket of snow. It is nearly impossible to perform a rare plant survey if one can't see the plants!! Here I am all bundled up:
