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 we had glorious sunshine for the most part.

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

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

Cant wait to get out there.

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

Just seen your web cam link

it was cold saturday well compared to the other days.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!!

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.

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.

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

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

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.
