I see you guys got down to 3�C today...hmm...looks like snow soon...ha ha ha...seriously I hear your area is in for milder temperatures and less precipitation this winter...so it'll only be -30�C with 2 metres of snow.

You'd get bored of it in 2 years; I tell you what

Edit: Actually, there, since I live in Montreal now... A Lot milder and more humid.

Good to see you're just as looney as the rest of us Canucks.

But I am psychic: you work indoors, right? Try my outside job on a day like this! LOL

How big is Calgary anyway? I know they had the Olympics a few years ago. But I don't hear about it much other than that.

The reason I ask is it seems kind of a wierd coincidence that we have three regulars on the forum, one that lives there, one that just moved there, and one that just moved away.

Isnt the biggest city in the country, but the biggest in the province.

Calgary is about 900,000 people in the metro area, just a tad behind Edmonton.

TerranC > Umm, you do realize that Montreal gets a hell of a lot of snow too, right?

WOOPS!

Actually, Calgary has gone to 951,000 just a tad more than Edmonton's 937,000 according to the Last census in 2001!!! He He He, Toronto's at just about 4.7M!!! That's more than half of the provinces have in Canada!!!
