For Alberta the mountains make it almost impossible to forecast accurately long term. Especially in the Calgary area.

Yes and I paticulary like going to work in woolies in the morning and then trying anticipate how many layers to put on underneath to take off as the day gets hotter. To the point now where most people in the uk would be in vest short and flip flops.

Then get to 7.30 tonight again if you're still outside sweaters go back on etc etc.

I travel with a complete change of clothes in the car at all times (not joking either)

Really? I can't wait! As crazy as it seems....I love the colder weather, I was even miserable back home during the rare occurance of it getting to 20 degrees nevermind +30!

Re: Alberta is breaking records today!!!
 

It made me laugh one day when I heard the local weather guy ont' radio, saying that any forecast beyond 4 days ahead in Calgary was "pure voodoo"!! :p

Re: Alberta is breaking records today!!!
 

Looks like you only missed it by 3 days. ;)
