we have a wide assortment of jackets and boots in the trunk of our cars ahahaha

Yes it is a huge swing isn't it. And I have to say we don't cope very well. It is a kind of running joke, you can tell a true Calgarian from those who have moved here from other places.... we Calgarians bitch and moan the loudest about our weather.

As a scientific fact we have these winds that come off the west coast up over the mountains and swirl down upon us. When the winds blow they bring warmth in the winter and that causes the instability in our weather. Without them we would have constantly cold winter. I have experienced about 20 degree temperature changes within 24 hours. The winds can occasionally take us from about -10C up to +10C in as little as 24 hours. We can vary in temperature as much as 30 degrees in a span of 30 days as well. The winds are called "Chinooks" and if you translate they are called snow eaters.
I believe Denver Colorado, and Munich Germany have similar ones.

The worst is they play hades with some peoples heads as the Barametric Pressure changes drastically during these times causing nasty migranes.

Can't even wrap up warm and stay indoors without your ears going pop.
