You're right. The weather here is really extreme. We go from one end of the scale to the other. In the winter it can get down to -40, -50, but usually does only once or twice the entire winter. And it usually only lasts for a day or two.

Most of the time during the winter i'd say it's between 0-32F, which isn't that bad.

-50 isn't that bad either, you just have to dress for it.

Today the cold snap ended and it got up around freezing and the snow on the roads started melting and now its slush everywhere.

In the summertime, we can get up to 35 or 40C which is probably around 90-95F at the max. So we go from -50F to +90. Big temp swing.

I've lived here all my life so i'm used to it.

In addition, Calgary is one of only 2 places in the entire world that get Chinooks. so a few times per winter we get huge warm temps. It can get up to +10C for a couple days. So you always know there is a Chinook around the corner when it's -50.
