To sum up how warm December was from Environment Canada's website our mean temp was above 0!

Well, -30 forecast for next week, so enjoy it while you can.

Great day to bike to work! haha

Hope everyone stays warm the next few days, this looks to be stupid cold!

Heading to Vancouver tomorrow, coming back Monday night. Feel free to fill me in on how bad it got here

Unfortunately Vancouver is going to get some bad weather too from the looks of it.

Environment Canada is calling for a high of 18 on Monday, that's a 50 degree temperature swing in 2 weeks if true! Link

Yeah I’m seeing Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all in the mid/high teens on Environment Canada. TWN is being more conservative, but I’ll still take mid/high single digits too.

 

[Mountain Man]

I bet we get something in the middle, like 12 as the warmest day. If it does hit 18, I'm hitting the ship patio for lunch monday!

 

[UrbanWarrior]

Now they’re saying 19 on Monday. Buckle up buckaroos! Weather Network still sticking with their conservative forecast but they’re reporting on the “super-straight” jetstream setting up across the Pacific, which is highly likely to bring warmth all across the prairies and territories. So I think we can count on at least double digits.

Wowzers, longest consecutive stretch of days above 8° before Feb 3 in over 80 years

Raining at the beginning of February geez

 

[Mountain Man]

Stated both January and February with rain! lol Should be fairly seasonal for the rest of the month at least.

Hi everyone, new to the city, wondering if the last couple weeks (after the spike at the beginning of Feb) is pretty regular weather for Calgary this time of year? I noticed there's a big discrepancy here from morning to night, and the day time is mostly around the highs of the day and the lows are basically overnight. In Toronto, it's much flatter so I'd look at the high-low to judge how warm to dress for the day, whereas here there's almost no reason to look at the low.

I'd say it is normal. You can choose to either suffer in the AM or sweat in PM. Choose wisely.

 

[Mountain Man]

Definitely normal. Just wait for spring / fall. It can hit 25 during the day with frost at night!
