Had to mention that cause as a Island boy was surprised how much I enjoyed Calgary weather.
Calgary weather is generally not "bad" but it is highly variable, in the winter we can have -20c and +10c on adjacent days (and in fact sometimes a few hours appart!) I can't say I like -20 to -40 weather, but on the bright side, it never lasts more than a week or 2 before we have another "chinook" (chinooks are when we get warm weather in the middle of winter, has to do with airflow over the nearby rocky mountains)
And the summers here are much more comfortable than they are in a lot of other places, we hover around 20-25 most of the summer, and with very low humidity, we usually get a week or 2 of +30 to +35, but not enough for most people to bother with an air conditioner, and even when it hits those temperatures during the day, it's usually only around 15 - 20 at night so you can let the house cool off.
