Im getting fed up with this snow, sun, snow, sun weather

[maxwinedog]

WHen is it going to stop? Each time the roads are getting cleaned up of all this slush and dirt, it snows again. Is Calgary always like this in Jan-Feb-March?

Welcome to Calgary

FWIW, Chinook is an inuit word that means "Snow eater"


Yes in Feb & March, its like this a lot. Dec & Jan not so much. It rarely gets above -5

You know what they say, if you dont like the weather in calgary, wait 5 minutes.

In the famous words of Ingilo Montoya "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. "

Were you guys not here for the 90's, early 2000's?

I remember seeing it get as hot as 40, high 30's for stretches every year. We used to have awesome summers.

That's what I remember from my first 5 years (moved here in '96), after that it's been a serious downhill slope for summers.

Yes.

However you forgot about Apr-May-June as well.

It isn't so much the snow that is annoying the piss out of me right now, it is the consistent -20s to - 30s, this winter has been cold.

[superflychief]

I'd rather have a steady -10/-15 all winter long then the constant fluctuations. -25 one day, 2 days later it's +2. You never get used to any temp.
