Got back on Sunday
 

Well we have had a fantastic time in Calgary, we were all very sad on Saturday when we had to leave :(

Glaswegian looks like we missed the snow :D we had glorious sunshine for the most part.

I'm wadding through the photos now managed to take 115 :eek: got some great snaps will upload them soon.

i will post a full report soon still suffering from jet lag :rolleyes:

Cant wait to get out there.

The snow started yesterday ... you just missed it.

Just seen your web cam link :D

it was cold saturday well compared to the other days. ;)

Re: Got back on Sunday
 

Calgary does that ... our highs were 22C last week, by yesterday the high was -6C!!

Our weather is controlled by the jetstream ... when it blows south of Calgary, it gets suddenly cold ... when it blows north, it gets warm ... it's just like a giant switch being flicked.

I watched the "Day After Tomorrow" last night ... apart from people freezing on the spot, it didn't look much different from winter in Calgary ... we had ice just like that inside our windows frames this morning :D

I loved the cold days I just wrapped up and put on my new deer skin gloves and was happy as a happy type thing :D

Re: Got back on Sunday
 

I've just stopped wearing shorts and I haven't started wearing gloves or a hat yet ... no point until it gets below -10C.

Re: Got back on Sunday
 

Thats the 1 thing that did make me laugh calgarians in open toed sandals and shorts. on Saturday there were girls in open shoes, skirts and showing their middle with a scarf, and the wife in full artic clothing :D

Re: Got back on Sunday
 

The UPS guys run a competition here ... who can wear shorts for the longest time possible ... you see them wearing shorts way below -20C.

Re: Got back on Sunday
 

LOL thats got to be a site. I wounder how cold you could go?

Re: Got back on Sunday
 

You see them all weathers ... I spend the minimum amount of time outdoors I can when it's below -30C ... like everyone in Calgary I use the +15's!!

Re: Got back on Sunday
 

They are fantastic, It was just great to walk from the sandman to the other end of Calgary with out stepping out side.
We just loved the C-train used nearly every went up to the Chinook center and the Calgary zoo with the kids.

Re: Got back on Sunday
 

There are downsides to the c-train ... no aircon when it's +30C and it gets crammed when everyone is wearing their winter stuff when it's -30C ... you can't win!

I'm a big fan of the +15's ... they make life a lot easier.

Re: Got back on Sunday
 

I would love to see and use them in the winter, I bet it's great looking out through the walk ways and seeing folks freezing there ass off :D

Re: Got back on Sunday
 

Not much opportunity ... the streets are deserted when its that cold!

Re: Got back on Sunday
 

That was the other thing we found the city was so quite every day felt like a sunday, it wasnt untill we went to the chinook center the we found out were every one was.
