For reference, it is October 4th, and snowing like a mother fucker. What the fuck, nature?

To be clear, I like snow. I like winter. But enough is enough. Last year it was "cold" (consistantly below zero) from November 1st to mid May. One of those months was -40 consistantly. That's too much. I can't take it.

Calgary is pretty far north - it's the farthest north I've ever lived. As a result, this means the winter sun rises around 9 AM and sets around 4 PM, at best. This means for these three to six brutal, unforgiving winter months, I don't see the sun for the five days of the week I am working.

It's so depressing to think we're already back at winter again already. I am so happy that I'm leaving for Korea in a week and can put off the slide into winter at least two more months.

Dude I would love that. Over here it's like living in a sauna because for over half the year the humidity is in the 90% range. I love cold weather and snow in October (or anytime during the year for that matter) is pretty rare here.

edit: Yeah the sun schedule must really suck though. 9-4? Wow that's harsh man

The snow and the cold I could probably deal with, but no sun, for the most part, would be so depressing.

You're such a bastard for skipping part of winter while the rest of us suffer thru the whole thing.

Any knowledge of the history of Calgary? Why would a big city like that spring up where it is. Is there some sort of resource nearby? Some business/industry in the city? I'm just curious as to why people would choose to live there.

Im in Edmonton (3hrs north of calgary), and no snow yet! However it's pretty chilly out, which sucks for a guy like me who works outside usually for 12hrs a day. Last winter was just brutal with the constant minus 40. I thought I wasn't gonna make it a few times lol (I work 10days in a row out of town, and have 4 days off).

Lets pray this winter will be a little more gentle
