Scott: what the hell is that?
me: um a car
Scott: (in an exasperated tone he saves just for me) no, over there. Is that SNOW?
me: can't be, where? really?
Scott: I think it is
me: weird, perhaps someone dropped a huge box of table salt
Scott: or maybe a Colombian drug lord has been there
me: perhaps, or maybe it is snow, is that possible...in July?
Scott: can't be, maybe there was a fire, and that is the foam from first response
me: oh well that would make sense
a few minutes later, more table salt/drugs/fire foam (aka SNOW) was on the side of the road, in the ditches and on the hills, will the weather in Alberta never stop surprising us. The above picture was so funny, because there was no other evidence of snow anywhere. It was just on this very specific side of the hill, we had to drive another couple kilometers before we saw anymore.UPDATE: apparently there are fact checkers hanging out on this blog, like my brother who has been to one or two forest fires. For future reference the foam would have been red not white, well how silly is that to have foam the same colour as the fire! thanks Col for keeping this blog factual!

You must have been driving behind us - we got stuck in a wicked hail storm.
We actually saw a snow plow coming out to clean up the roads.
I am suspecting you just saw the remnants of that hail.
Just to let you know for the future, Fire Foam is red in colour
