Agreed. Calgary has four main looks to it...

1. Lush Green - Usually for a few weeks after it has rained a fair bit. You drive around (especially on higher up, scenic routes) and go "holy **** #### our city looks beautiful".

2. Winter white - The city looks stunning after a good snowfall, white everywhere, tree tops filled with snow, parks look awesome.

3. Slush brown - The crappy look after some decent weather throughout the winter/early spring. The city seriously looks like ####, but usually still has enough snow around to give it at least a little bit of life

4. Brown brown - The look to the city for a good chunk of the year. No snow, no green, no life. Just brown grass, brown, dead trees, grey streets and grey buildings. Just butt ugly.


Our two week fall season has passed and our #4 look is taking over. Bring on the snow!
