MAK Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Haha. Surprise is an understatement. Today is a perfect example, 7 AM there is sun everywhere, not a cloud in the sky, birds chirping. I think to myself "Finally, some good weather" and fall back asleep. I wake up at 9:30 and theres clouds everywhere and it's just pouring. I remeber one day in febuary it went form 10C to-20 in like 8 hours. we had so much wind that I thought the bus shelter would get caught in the wind in fly away. it wasn't raining or anything but since I live 1Km from the st laurent river, the streets were all wet.

huzer Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 They're getting snow (and making it) about 8000 ft out here. Gotta be the first resort (well, Loveland and A Basin aren't resorts) to open in October. A Basin is usually open from mid-October through the middle of June.

Pierre the Great Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 well if you enjoy mild temperature, you could move to vancouver. if you like cold and wind: winterpeg is your place. montreal is a bit colder in the winter but it's the humidity that really gets you. not that much snow if you compare to the rest of the province. in the summer you sweat like a pig but if you have the afternoon free, you sit your butt at les 3 brasseurs on st denis st and look at what montreal as best to offer: montrealerettes if you like surprises I say move to calgary. as for the atlantic provinces, I've haven't seen them yet. nicest people in canada though. I'll be seeing you guys next summer. Yeah Montreal sounds like St. Louis in the Summer. Me I like Vancouver. If I can wear jeans year around (except for oh a couple weeks here and there when the temps go up a bit) I'd love it. Yeah Winterpeg sounds dreadful. Calgary reminds me a lot of Denver. Nice warm day the next then freezing cold right after it. You'll always here about a Rockies game being cancelled in September, October and March for blizzards. Its happend before. Only thing you got watch out for if the Rockies is forest fires. Not fun. Here in saint louis we've got floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, and deadly heat. eck. I do like snow though, which Vancouver doesn't get but all I'd have to do is take a half hour trip up the mountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beliveau1 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Okay here's a basic conversion 110 F (once every 10 years) = 43 C 100 F (hot day) = 37 C 90 F (summer) = 32 C 80 F (spring/fall) = 26 C 70 F (late fall) = 21 C 60 F (later fall) = 15 C 50 F (thanksgiving) = 10 C 40 F (christmas) = 4 C 30 F (snow in winter) = -1 C 20 F (cold snap) = -6 C 10 F (usually the low in winter during cold snap) = -12 C 0 F (once every couple of years) = -17 C - 5 F (once every 5 years) = -20 C -10 F (once every century) = -23 C If you ask me that kind of sound like a Cup parade in Toronto.......

I do like snow though, which Vancouver doesn't get but all I'd have to do is take a half hour trip up the mountains. Calgary, we get flooding (thats more recent), nasty blizzards and ice storms, forest fires and tornadoes. Well not really Calgary for Tornadoes but the surrounding area can get hit pretty bad. Pine Lake anyone? We also had really bad flooding last June (June 2005). It rained for about a week and there was already a ton of spring runoff from the mountains. Some areas of the city had a good 10-12 feet of water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) LOL thats nothing Jetsniper we had the flood of '93. People are still scared emotionally over that one. http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/slideshow/flood935.nsf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Flood_of_1993 This is how much the Mississippi River and Missouri River swelled in Saint Louis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Saint_L...Great_Flood.jpg Edited September 16, 2006 by Pierre the Great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 (edited) Oh I forgot to mention St. Louis has bizarre weather because of urban sprawl, its out of control here. The entire St. Louis Metro area extends in a 100 mile circle radius. You'd think thats fine but in a town of 300,000 and the suburbs of 2.0 million only, thats shocking. When the farthest suburb is 80 miles away from downtown STL you know this area has a sprawl problem. The sprawl causes weather to change because where there used to be farm land is now houses. Houses release heat into the air, the air doesn't go anywhere so the heat is trapped creating a bubble. This leads to abnormal weather conditions in the winter. Basically Saint Louis has its own Global Warming problem created by pollution. During the winter and summer you'll see a giant storm brewing in the middle of the state and when it gets to the metro area it just falls apart due to the bubble of heat.

shortcat1 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Gotta love this time of year. Not in Sudbury yet... won't be too long though... sometime in late October or mid-November we should get our first fluffy falling. Won't last... December's usually the time when it starts to stick around. :king: :hlogo: :king: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
