This November talk is crazy. It’s dark, but otherwise quite pleasant. Still some leaves on the trees. Grass is green. You can go for a walk and the sidewalks are usually clear. Autumn has a nice vibe.
March or April are clearly worse. Slush, ice, freezing-thawing. Treacherous sidewalks either covered in puddles or slick with ice. Brown gravel and grit everywhere. It’s ugly as ####. Cars are filthy - you can go through a bottle of wiper fluid in a week. And it’s been 5+ months since you could walk around in shorts or comfortably sit on a patio.
If you invited friends from overseas to Calgary and wanted them to come away thinking the city is a bleak, charmless, ####hole, you’d tell them to come in March or April.
