Winter has arrived - The Latest on APN - Oct. 29-Nov. 4

Halloween's goblins have gone to bed, and just as you recovered from the sugar high of fright night, the snow arrived with aplomb. Though Alberta boasts stunning winter scenery, that first drive before the roads are cleared can be a hard pill to swallow. 

So we're shifting our perspective this Scorpio season. It's darker, quieter, and a perfect time to tune in with your fine self. Listen for that inner child— they didn't think much about icy accidents, interest rates, or utility bills. Enjoy the current moment, and this week's playlist from the APN crew. Or try a proper Scorpio soundtrack; a living room dance party can be a great mood booster.
