It just is what it is. April in Calgary is always a crapshoot. We get wind, rain, snow, sleet the whole gamut.

I think April is one of the more unpredictable months around here.

Unpredictable on the day to day but from a year to year perspective it’s entirely predictable. It’s absolute ####. March and April are terrible in this city.

Spring in southern Alberta pretty much sucks

I just want the miserable days April onward to be in rain form.

More snow feels just like a continuation of what came before it.

That's why it feels like spring is non-existent here. It needs to distinguish itself in some way without just looking/feeling like winter.

That real, rainy spring that doesn't revert to winter happens from mid May to mid June. That's it.

The other day I was in shorts while chipping dog crap out of the ice still left in the dog run, and got bit by a mosquito. and now the run is full of snow again. Spring here is BS!

Any recommendations for a winter tire changeover that is fairly priced?

You can PM me so people don't steal your secrets.

I am going to take off the winters, start my irrigation system and put away the snow shovels… and there is not a damn thing you can do about it.

Permanent water restrictions coming in June, part of a bylaw change.
