Calgarians are not impressed by the city's recent weather woes
Calgary weather has always been a fickle thing, especially in spring.
With the Canadian cold bringing an abundance of snow and chinooks swooping in to thaw it all out in a day, Calgarians are no strangers to fluctuating weather forecasts… but this spring has been another matter entirely.

Over the past few weeks, the city has seen a snowstorm, fierce winds, a few beautiful, sunny days, and, most recently, been pelted with hail.
Unsurprisingly, not everyone enjoys packing snowboots, an umbrella, and sunglasses every time they walk out the door, and a few have even taken to social media to (hilariously) voice their frustrations.
We’re sure that June will bring those sunny skies back to Calgary… but until there, here are a few of our favourite observations to tide you over during this snowy/stormy/rainy/sunny May:

In the last two weeks, in Calgary, I have experienced temperatures ranging from -5°C to +15°C, I have seen snow, rain, wind, sunshine and hail. Just waiting for frogs, locusts and the Bow River to run red. #yyc #yycliving
