It's getting to be the same here, as a matter of fact it's 32c here right now and 30 at your house

Some years yes, but not lately, after January this year Calgary had a total of 9 days in the minus.

I don't count anything below 10 degrees as decent spring weather. In our slo-pitch league which started in late April, our first 3 games were played in single digit temperatures and it was miserable
