From what I've read, this has been the coldest winter here in 35 years, and the third coldest of the past century. Not only that, it's also been one of the snowiest winters ever, with more snow than we've had since '96-97. And for anyone curious, the spring of '97 is referred to as The Flood of the Century in these parts because shit hit the fan when all that snow melted. I'd be concerned if I ever believed we'd actually get temperatures above 0 again in this godforsaken shithole.

It'll be interesting to see how it goes this spring/summer. Our epic floods last june were a combo of a cool spring, deep snowpack, then a shit ton of rain in the mountains that melted all of the snow. As long as we get a bit of a warm early spring, without rain we should be ok on the flood front. It's funny, in Calgary whenever the weather is bad we always say at least we don't live in Edmonton or Winnipeg. Thanks for keeping up your end of the bargain!
