    According to fedex tracking, my package was put on truck for delivery on friday morning, and it should be delivered on monday. Are they really putting stuff on truck for the weekend? It's in Richmond, BC... where could it be going?

    My guess is that the driver couldn't finish their route on Friday so your package didn't get delivered. I have no clue what else it could be...

    phirleh's box to CurtisD has given me some inspiration for a further addition to my box! Just finishing packing it up. 210 oz. Will be starting its eastward journey tomorrow...to where exactly...

    Hint, I'm shipping through the Prarie's. Had planned on sending tomorrow, but don't know if it is the best idea just yet given the forecast?

    Another hint is that my target has wants from my homeland.

    Based on what I am seeing for Winnipeg right now, I think it is fairly safe if the beers you are sending are higher ABV beers... but there is still some risk with the forecasted lows for Tuesday (-6C) and Friday (-8C). Not sure when a box from BC would make its way through MB.

    As for other areas:
    AB: Ricky Monday through Wednesday. Might want to hold off until Thursday if your box is headed through AB (based on Calgary temps).

    SK: Same as AB. Doesn't look safe all week really.

    Northern Ontario seems safe. As does the rest of Ontario. Quebec is definitely safe too.

    I just re-read my post and I have no idea what I was trying to say here. lol. I don't know who Ricky is and what he has to do with temperatures in Calgary. The basic point was that it is going to be really cold in Alberta Monday through Wednesday but it should be safe to ship towards the end of the week.

    I am so thankful that Manitoba is taking all the flak for this weather.

    It's funny because the temps in Calgary are way colder than Winnipeg, like -4C lower...!

    Picked up a nice shirt for my box but disappointingly not a bottle of a terrible beer I was hoping to include...however a suitable replacement has been selected. Had hoped to get things out today but still gota pack everything up so probably Wednesday considering life is as usual getting in the way of beer :slight_smile:
