You can always tell who's from Calgary and who's a foreigner when you walk around the university campus. All the natives are walking around in t-shirts and a light jacket while the exchange students/out of towners are wearing parkas, gloves and hats.

There were days last year when buses were going sideways down the road and my all seasons were perfectly fine.

Alberta is pretty bad for winters since we're a central mountain province. Our winters are dry and cold normally, this year just seems a little weird. Last year we had a few days where the temperature dropped below -30 celsius in the day, it was so cold that my transmission fluid was frozen. I think the worst winters are probably either in Quebec or Manitoba. Churchill Manitoba is the town famous for having polar bears, if that helps put it in perspective.

Wow, the arguments of Guns vs No Guns is quite funny to me. It really shows how different upbringings and different influances change people perspectives.
Back to the current topic....I have penguins on my driveway in the morning...They seem to like my Igloo, something about the design of it I guess.

I guess a few people snuck it in before it was blacklisted but now you can get them in only for off-road/race/show use only.
