Ah yes, my golfing buddies.  Yesterday, not only was the weather 'ify', but the wind was severe.  It blew in from the south and in parts of the territory the downdrafts were almost tornado like.  In fact much of the southern Yukon was without power for a great part of yesterday (and about 500 users without power into today) as the wind not only blew trees onto power lines but the trees were blown right down to the ground, carrying the power lines with them.  Heard on the radio this morning that Whitehorse is in a small pocket that is receiving unseasonably cool, wet conditions and it will be like that for the near future in any case.  All around us - and of course in the remainder of Canada - the temperatures are very summer like - but not here!  Was fresh snow on the mountains this morning.  SNOW !!  IN JULY !!  OUR WARMEST MONTH !!  But we do try to get out onto the fairways twice a week - and take our rain gear, warm sweaters and vests, short sleeved shirts, sunglasses and umbrellas .. in other words, we are ready for any weather, as conditions can change in the time it takes you to say "FORE".  Luckily this morning we had the threatening clouds at our backs and the sun in front.  All in all, good conditions to play.
