I voted "wait 5 minutes" but nothing changed. This poll can suck my pole.

Is the Calgary sun shining on your pole when you fill out the poll while getting your pole shined?

Sure but of those 165 days how much rain actually falls that is substantial? And how much rain falls in say Burnaby? Coquitlam? Langley? Abbotsford?

People keep saying Vancouver.. but do they mean Vancouver city or the GVRD? Because there is a difference.

If memory serves, Calgary and Vancouver (city of, not GVRD) gets roughly about the same amount of precip per year. The difference is that we get it an hour in a tstorm, whereas Vancouver might take a week to get the same amount.

To me the most important factor is the monthly hours of sun.

Nobody in this thread can afford to live in Vancouver proper anyway

*Snow counts as precipitation, as well.

I had to quit trusting weather stats years ago when I read that Victoria has whatever amount WAY the eff more sunny days than Edmonton. Or maybe it was hours of sunlight?

One must be careful with the stats, sunny DAYS might mean a requirement of 1/2 hour of sun per day to qualify. I look at the hours per month - that gives you a real world feel of the mood.

I'll have to double check based on this recommendation. I'd hate to be one of those assholes that quotes some stat and is off by a factor of 4 or something crazy!
RoFL!!

I was going to jump on that, myself but TréSlow was le not-so-slow on the draw and beat me to another burn.

I never really hated Calgary weather, born and raised in the area. Didn't care for the spells of -30 and the windy days any time of the year. Moved to the Okanagan last year, can't say I miss anything about the climate in Calgary. I'm still camping out with the kids in our holiday trailer without having the furnace on.

Suck and great are the same thing

I would like a sunny relationship lol I don’t think I can handle 4 seasons in one day anymore

[darthVWader]

Warm tar sand winds for the win.
