it was extremely warm in Calgary over most of the 88 games. This wasn't too bad of a problem for snow events since snow making could still happen at night when it was cold. The problem, if you remember was wind affecting the ski jumping and dust from the dry warm conditions blowing onto the luge/bobled track. I think the Jamaican bob-sled team felt more at home with 18 degree temperatures than they probably thought they would being in Canada.
