It's cold to very cold from Nov 1 to April-ish with occasional Chinook breaks. If you can live somewhere else for those five months, they are the worst for sure.

The chinooks are amazing. It means 'snow eater' in the Blackfoot language and it is true. The wind comes in and the snow disappears.

They typically come with a 'chinook arch' here in Calgary where there is a band of clouds to the south that demarcate the different weather systems.

Its truly something to behold

It is definitely one of the things that have made winters (barely!) bearable for me. If we had Winnipeg-style winters I would have left in my 20s. :)
