I was thinking the same thing. March is NEVER a safe month in Calgary.

Haha my brother put his summers on yesterday. We all told him it was too early and that it was supposed to snow, but he figured it'd be a little flurry and then melt away again. Haha you should hear the amazingly colorful wishes he has for Paul Dumphry (sp?) this morning. Serves him right though!

It's safer in May, even then it's a gamble sometimes.

It ALWAYS snows in March. A Lot. And heavy snow.
Summers wheels go on in May. Winters on in October.
On my last car they didn't go on until the gravel was gone.

I put my summers on today, and holy fawk was it slick out there. Now that the suns out though, the roads are not all icy, but keeping a clean windshield, and even passing on deerfoot safely with all the spray (the road is a wading pool at the moment) is a bitch right now.

I think you guys were rather stupid to put those things on so early in the season. Its still WINTER for gods shake. At least you got punished for it, haha.

Then again. I kinda have a grudge. Cause last year some idiot, put his summers on and drove during a snow storm like this morning. he managed to lose control on Crowchild while switching lanes and hitting a rental I was in for... guess what, some other idiot running into the back end of my prelude 2 weeks prior. He also put his summers on and lost tractions. that happened on crowchild too.... So all in all, I think anyone who puts their summers on in winter is an idiot... Have some fucking patients. Summers just around the corner.

Your still all welcome to buy heaters from me though. :thumbsup:

there isnt such thing as a safe month in Calgary.

I'm kinda glad it snowed, summer ride isn't here yet. I wouldn't mind a few more weeks of winter.

I put on my summers and the winters are going back on today.
The rear end kept wanting to come around going down Sarcee Hill and my car is a FWD.
So the winters are going back on until the end of April.
I want to kick old man Jack Frost in the nuts.

For all those that don't remember or haven't lived here long enough to know, we usually get a big dump right around the Victoria Day long weekend at the end of May.

You guys make me laugh, it's March in CALGARY for gods sake, what the hell? Did you seriously think we weren't going to get more snow at all?

I'll clue you in on another secret, after THIS dump melts away, we'll get at least 2 more snowpiles before May long weekend.

:nut:

I swear Calgary breeds the dumbest drivers.

I still have a few things to do to my car before I put it on the road for the summer so a couple more weeks of crap will be fine with me..

She's going to be hot when it's done though! Boooyah!

I usually don't even THINK about putting my summers on until at least the end of April, wouldn't even consider it in March. Hell, we've probably got another foot of snow to come at least.

I was loling at some dude in a red NSX plowing through the snow downtown last night.

It was beautiful all last week, so I finally got my car insured in preparation for the spring. They faxed over my insurance and 10 minutes later it started to snow:banghead:

I'm only pissed because it reminded me how bad calgary drivers are. I was on my way to school this morning when some lady in a beetle decided to stop on a narrow turn without notice, to wave me through first. I decided to turn around right then so I wouldn't have to put up with any more suspect drivers.

I wonder how many accidents there were this morning?

I don't know which weather report you're checking but I remember on CFCN even last week David Spence said that come Monday of next week (i.e. yesterday) it's going to get colder and we'll see flurries. Now this is Calgary and that report could change in 5 minutes but like others said, it's March in Calgary. It's pretty much guaranteed that we'll see a dump and probably one in April as well!

i think everyone is the same here, we pray to god that maybe this march we wont have a stupid snowfall to remind us how random calgary's weather is. And then we are all happy with the nice warm weather and then it hits us, our worst nightmare, the thing we prayed against. The HUGE March snowfall EVERY year!! haha we all get pwned in some way. :banghead: :banghead:

yesterday morning i checked on www.theweathernetwork.com. clicked on 14 day forcast and it said it was gonna be sunny the whole 14days..i think 1 day was in the -'s.

I didnt believe it yesterday. Get in the car 15 degrees, start driving to work windows down and the snow is blowing into the pilot:rolleyes: Didnt expect this much snow though when i woke up.

took us a half hour to get into the parking lot at the Foothills Hospital this morning, everyone kept getting stuck on the little hill and there was only ONE entrance into the lot open. ARG! :banghead:

I'm not pissed..in fact, I love snow...as long as it's not -40, it's all good. Despite the fact the truck doesn't have winter tires, gotta love 4x4! It's really the aftermath that pisses me off, when everything melts and it's just like a giant slurpee outside..and the damn rocks, got a chip on the windshield yesterday. Fortunately, we put 3m on the front bumper and fenders last Saturday, but can't wash it until the film sets in at the end of this week.
