I remember in the late 80s before going out for the day, I'd call that 263-3333 line and get the info. I can still kind of recall the voice, tempo, and order.The time is...9:15. Temperature minus 13. The Calgary weather, flurries today, high near minus 4. Flurries tonight, low near minus 16 ... Can't remember the last thing she'd say, but that lady gave me a lot of info for a few years.
Lol -- I just read that in my head in the exact same voice and tempo -- it must be seared into my brain after all these years.

I don't remember what she said after that -- either it was just a click or I just hung up the phone at that point.
