rule #89: if you have nothing nice to say, talk about the weather...

there are a lot of cities that make the same claim that calgary does:

"if you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes"

in all fairness, in calgary, this is MOST CERTAINLY true.

in one day (not today) it went from clear sunny skies, to cloudy and windy, to rain, to hail, to sleet, to snow and back to sunshine again. our weather can change by up to +/-20°C in a couple of hours. we are home to the infamous chinook wind that brings in a beautiful arch of clouds over the city and of course, the infamous "chinook headache".

and today...
it SNOWED!
how lovely is that?!?!?! i am currently giddy and gleeful. all my goth friends will disown me.
i'm a fan of cold weather. i'm a lover of dreary weather. i am smiling madly while people are grumbling about the cold and miserable effects of nature.
i am SO VERY ready for winter right now. damn summer heat. die. oh summer weather, it is SO AWN!
