There is nothing quite like Calgary weather. It is currently snowing very hard, there is about 6 inches, and we are expected to get more. This afternoon, it will be thundershowers, and plus 7 celsius. Then we will have sun. We are getting every single season in less than 12 hours.

On the plus side, The kindergarden class I was supposed to teach isn't coming in this morning, so I have one of those delightfully unexpected snow days that are just so wonderful.
On the Negative side, the weather has been giving me a migraine since yesterday. :cry:

So, how is YOUR weather? Is it bipolar like our?

Let's see, in my location in upper Illinois it's raining steadily. There's going to be thunderstorms later on today into tonight. It's going to be raining from now until Sunday night and oh better yeton Saturday and Sunday there will also be snow with the rain at times.

At least when it snows, I get an extra five points in my Weather and Climate class. :D

Here in south central Pennsylvania it's still rather cold. It's warm today but expected to be on the cool side all next week. It won't get warm & stay that way till the end of May in which it goes from cool to hot in one fell swoop. I still have to use my winter coat in the morning on the way to work.

A radio station ran a contest to come up with a new "unofficial" motto for the fair state of South Carolina. My favorite was "South Carolina: One Week, Four Seasons".

Seriously. It's not unheard of to run both the ac and the heat in the same 12 hours. You know why SC winters are so miserable? They aren't THAT cold, really. It's just that nobody has time to adjust to the temperature. If it's 80 one day and 40 the next, you feel it worse than if it was 30 degrees all week.

AAAAnnnd I'm not going to say the summers aren't terribly extreme. They are. When the water in a swimming pool becomes too hot to swim in, that's some messed up weather right there (my friends left a solar blanket on their pool while away and the heat index hit 114 for a week. I lost my AC and ended up camping in their living room while they were gone. Water in the pool was hotter than that in the jacuzzi. Hotter than a bath. It literally was like tea.). I peeled the blanket off and it took three days for it to cool off enough that you could get into it at night.

Put it this way: I have gone sledding...on hard-frozen, glazed over snow in a t-shirt and jeans. And sweated while doing so.
