I honestly don't understand the complaints about Calgary's climate. Coming from the Maritimes, I'm used to freezing cold winters with monster blizzards, followed two days later by cold rain, which then freezes and turns everything into ice. And summers are unbearable because the moist ocean air causes brutal humidity.
Calgary, on the other hand, gets just as cold in the winter, but two days after a snowstorm instead of rain we get a chinook. The winters are by far more tolderable, and the dry air makes the summers much more pleasant.
