Already freezing in Calgary?

[Are you a Flamer?]

I didn't think it got that cold until atleast October up there. Edmonton -3 tonight

I wish it got that cold down here that soon, i guess i gotta wait until November.

[BlackArcher101]

It's never normal. It's always higher or lower than what it should be. I give it 2 weeks until we see our first snow in Edmonton. They say we might get some tonight, but if it don't stay on the ground, it don't count.

[Engine09]

Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that people were complaining it was too hot?

That lasted a whole 4 days.

It was snowing here in Southern Alberta this morning. Very wet snow...so it didn't cover the ground.

The mountains are all loaded with snow right now.

if anyone watched the Stamps/Blue Bombers game last night, it was damn near a blizzard. was funny hearing the announcers disbelief at the weather

We mentioned that when watching the instant replays at Mcmahon. The snow didn't seem too bad while sitting there, but on the Jumbotron it looked like we could start a snowball fight at any time. Plus the snow was better than rain is it wasn't quite as wet.

Meh, I've lived in Calgary for 15 years and there isn't a single month of the year where I haven't seen snow; September isn't that far fetched.

You've seen snow in July?

[gottabekd]

I can't remember snow in August, but maybe it's happened. July quite often. The Stampede parade is in July...

Football game last night was cold and wet...but bearable knowing that within a week it will be 'too hot' again.

Heh, I've never really minded cold weather too be honest, and to me, its always just another indication that hockey is just around the corner.

[ken0042]

I've seen it in August in 2002 and 1990. In 1990 Environment Canada didn't call it "snow", but the police report on the multi car pileup on Deerfoot did. I specifically remember 1990 because I was living in Winnipeg still, and had to come to Calgary for an emergency. I left Winnipeg at midnight and it was 30 degrees at midnight. I said to myself "How much colder could it possibly be in Calgary?"

I found out.

And 2002 I was the last one to leave Calgary for our anual camping trip in BC. I got there and it was 25 degrees and nobody believed me that I left snow in Calgary.

As for July; I don't recall the exact year but it was fairly recently; in the last 5 years I think.

It's never been "build a snowman" type of snow, but snow never the less.

I remember that vividly. I had just got home from a western U.S.A. and Mexico road trip, and was headed up to Sylvan Lake to see my GF.

On the QEII it was snowing in August.

[jamesteterenko]

I'm happy about the weather. It is starting to feel like hockey weather!

James.

I have. During the Stampede there was snow in Bragg Creek and west Calgary about 7-8 years ago.

I know that it's snowed in August. About 10 years ago it snowed on my birthday, August 24th. I believe the only month is hasn't snowed in Calgary is July . That is just from memory though, I think I heard that on QR77 years ago.

[Sample00]

first year I was in Canada, maybe second..1969/1970,it snowed in July. wasnt much of a snow fall but it did come down.

I had friends out from Ont. The Doggie Doo was hot on Saturday, and on Sunday - brrrrr. One of my friends came down from the spare bedroom and said, "There frost on the F!$%ing window!"

It was a real mixed weather week that year.

[Displaced Flames fan]

I wish I was there.

After a couple of really pleasant and unseasonably cool weeks here, it was back up to 96F yesterday. I think that was summer's last gasp though.

Autumn is my favorite time of year and it only lasts a couple of weeks here. Back home its a couple of months between summer and autumn. You folks in Calgary are lucky!

[Cheese]

Nice and warm in Suth'n Ontario! Plus 27 today and sunny. Looking to cool down to high teens for the week...but snow in September? Blech...thats one of the reasons I left Cowtown...the weather is simply too bizarre. From summer to winter with no real autumn.
