Brrrrr! It was yet another pre-Halloween snowfall yesterday. The temperature was sufficiently cool that my neighbour decided to leave his car running to warm up. Tsk tsk, that's an environmental no-no!
While the rest of Calgary shed its' snow by mid-day yesterday, we're at a high enough elevation that the snow in our neighbourhood failed to melt.

Hi Paladin. Burrr, is right. Do you like the snow?
I enjoy it. I used to live where we only got inches of snow. Now I live where we get snow by the foot.
Keep warm.
I'm a spring and fall man myself.
Luckily, in Calgary, the snow goes as quickly as it comes, due to a phenomenon known as a Chinook.
Having grown up on the California coast and currently in its central valley, I'm jealous :)
Lived in Poland a few years and, man, I loved walking to work through the snow. course I understand it could get old after years of it.
I'm in Moose Jaw for work right now...and I'm heartily unimpressed with the current weather.
Moose Jaw?! What could possibly compel you to travel to Moose Jaw?
It's snowed here last week, but it's been beautiful here for the past few days. I think all of us Canadian rpg bloggers need to do a series of posts based on winter weather. That way we can share our love of talking about crappy winter weather with everyone.
Paladin, you said a bad, bad four letter word!
I love fall and spring the best. Spring because it's a new year kind of thing for me and fall because it's just so pretty and all the great foods. Nummy.
But I dig the snow now that I live in it. I like those Sundays where we don't have anywhere to go, and the back deck is so full of snow, that I can't get the door open.
Those are good days.
I'm a fall sorta fellow, I associate it with the youth and renewal of the university school year (and NFL football!).
In Niagara, we Upper Canadians won't see snow for at least another few weeks, and then only a dusting no accumulation until January.
And here we are in Washington, DC with 80 degree weather. It's unnatural, I say! Autumn should be crisp and cool (though I'd prefer the snow wait until at least Thanksgiving).
I'm about 600 km west of you, in the BC mountains, and although we don't have snow quite yet, it's definitely threatening.

You don't know what you're missing ... hold on, you do ...

I could post everyday about the weather, but could my readers tolerate it?

Something about snow in the mountains. The only thing I couldn't tolerate is the shorter days, since the mountains mean less sunlight.
Yeah, it's really difficult. We get a lot of winter fog in the valleys, too, and since we're right on the time zone border, it gets dark pretty early once daylight savings ends.
However, the payoff is that it rarely gets below -10, so outdoor activities are still doable. Not so much in Calgary, in my experience.
Yes, it can get very cold here, compared to the more mild temperatures in the mountains.
