We live in a very strange climate, we have a rather unique weather phenomenon where the temps can swing 40 Celsius during the day.

Chinooks

So it’s not unheard of to also not have snow on Christmas and it be 20c either. It’s not entirely climate change, but it will make the swings larger for us.

Edit, they also come with gusts of wind above 100km/h too.

Ah! Like an "Alberta clipper"

I mean, not just like, but, turns out, they're related. Thanks, Alberta. 😋

The chinook which in part originates the Alberta clipper usually brings relatively warm weather (often approaching 10 °C/50 °F in the depths of winter) to southern Alberta itself, and the term is therefore not used in Alberta.

We seem to get blamed for everything up here, so why not down there as well.

That was a fantastic read thanks!

Likewise! And for the record, I love our friendly neighbors to the north! Everyone I've met from Canada has been so nice and polite.

And plus, it's where The Nylons are from, so I would basically love Canada through the transitive property anyway.
