Here is the thing about Calgary and Vancouver. Temperature means squat. I have lived in both cities. A temperature of 5C in Calgary in winter, is usually a nice day. A temperature in Vancouver of 5C in the winter is a cold day. Does that make sense? Because Calgary experiences a wider range of temperatures, when we reach the same temperature in the winter as Vancouver, I would rather be here than Vancouver. It would "feel" warmer. Moisture in the air also plays a role. So next time you check the weather and you see Calgary at -10 and Vancouver at 5 and say you would rather be in Vancouver, it isn't true. I noticed that the weather is very similar in "feel". Lowest temperature i experienced in Vancouver was -8 and that was frigging freezing.
