Sometimes looking cool means being cold, teens say

It's also the season to pull the winter jackets and snow boots out of storage. But outside Calgary's Western Canada High School during a recent lunch hour, coats are clearly optional.

"I have a jacket in my locker, I just don't want to wear it because it's not that bad out,"

"Style is prioritized over warmth. If you look good, you feel good, even though you're freezing," said high schooler Andreea Mihai.

"I don't want to look like a snowman," Mihai added.

"I'd rather be cold and have a cute vest than be wearing a bulky jacket," said Valeria Hernandez.

Hernandez added that winter coats feel "clunky" and "disorganized."

"I feel like a big marshmallow and I just don't like that," said Hernandez.

The teens who spoke with CBC News all agreed that stereotypes of coat-resistant teens are pretty much true — they underdress for the weather, and they totally do it on purpose.

I think it may have snowed a little bit last night. And I think there’s still a few flakes coming down now. My weather network app says “light snow”.

It's hard to decipher what qualifies for a heavy snowfall watch or warning. In place on Thursday afternoon when it started but now nothing even though it feels like it's coming down harder if not as hard right now.

Technically the snow does look very light, though there is lots of it.

[Slava]

It’s light and fluffy.

As Noah once said in the Bible....'This 'sum Bulls###!"

Probably.

[Dion]

Need a lot more snow.

[Ashasx]

the #### we do

[curves2000]

Any farmers in the house? I know this snow is considered moisture which we really badly need, but it's not the best style of moisture. The snow like this usually evaporates from the wind and the dryness as opposed to melting into the ground. Is that true?

Naturally we need more of a rain style snow or just rain in the spring but hopefully this dumping in BC and AB will be helpful for the farmers and the forest fires.

In the old imperial system it was 10” of snow equals 1” of rain. In this Celsius climate - we need more snow.

Come shovel my driveway and see if you still feel that way. I don’t recall having more snow in the 12 years we’ve been out in Priddis. I’ve shovelled 4 times since Thursday afternoon just to stay on top of it. Will be doing number 5 in a bit.

Not in the Calgary area and southern Alberta where it's been about average. It's Edmonton and northern Alberta that needs more snow.

If I was your neighbor I'd be helping you shovel.

Well… thanks? That’s not the combative response I needed to vent some snow rage. Guess I’ll go see what’s happening in the political threads.

After the last couple of years 'near normal' (and that was 2 weeks ago) is below what is needed.

Where have you heard this?

[calgarygeologist]

My yard finally looks like it has average accumulation for the winter.

I feel like they do a news story on this every spring when the farmers complain about low water table, etc. “blah blah snow is good but we need rain”
