You sounds like a spoiled Calgary brat... what with your Chinooks coming in every once in awhile and all... lived in Alberta for 25 years... loved it, and I use to sound just like you until I moved here in Winnipeg.
True Story -- I bought an outdoor thermometer and the first winter I came here, the guy selling me batteries for it goes "Oh yeah man, you need the Lithium batteries or else the sensor will freeze with regular batteries...", so I spend twice the price for the Lithium ones, who knows if he was just working a commision, but whatever, and then winter comes in and one morning the readout says "--", so I grab the book and what does it mean?
Temperature lower than -40C, sensor possibly damaged or frozen.
It never worked quite right after that week. Winters here are brutal. Come on down sometime and check it out. You'll get a new appreciation for Calgary winters, and if I could afford to move back, I would.
