Since we’ve been shoved into a very sudden and early winter, I thought it’d be a good idea to remind people to take a breather. Yes, it’s suddenly very icky, snowy and slushy, and for lots of people, that means that getting to school and work might be a lot harder, with a much larger…

For the past three days, Calgary has been badly affected by the weather conditions. The blizzard, with its snowstorm and wind gusts, literally splashed the city with that white matter. Walking or driving in that knee-deep snow was nothing less than an adventure ride. On one such “adventure drive,” all I expected to see was…
The recent tragedy of Typhoon Haiyan does not stand as just a desolation in the global community, it is a reminder of the many climatic devastations suffered on Earth in the past years.

In Moneysense’s Best Places to Live in Canada 2013, Canadians saw a surprising revelation – Calgary topped the list. For both the best large city and best overall city, Calgary was first.

The wind blows, As the clouds had arose. Rain pouring down, Upon the beautiful town. Birds hiding in the trees, Everywhere drifting leaves. The lightning is coming, While it hits with heavy striking.

It’s especially noticeable how weather is a mutual thing that binds all former and present day Calgarians together. However, it seems that this year particularly, the weather hasn’t been able to make up its mind and I think…
