I always knew Northern Alberta's weather was cold and white, so I figured it would be 2X worse then what I was use too. So when we decide to move up to Whitecourt last fall, I had a slight panic attack and made sure that I had a good snow suit for William (SIDE NOTE- this 'panic attack' included me looking for weeks for something I deemed cute and extremely warm).
So i was all geared up for nasty Northern Alberta Weather. I however have been pleasantly surprised! Its cold, yes... Its white, yep... but its BEAUTIFUL! There is minor fluctuations in temperature... No nasty wind (I can probably count on one hand how many times Ive noticed Wind this year). And when it snows the entire town does NOT shut down! I can get to work, I can go shopping, I can still go out and not worry that I may perish on the side of the road, or sit in traffic for hours and hours!
There may be other down sides to living in Northern Alberta which I will not get in to at this time but the Weather is not one of them. Maybe Im still naive, I was told last year that they didn't get the snow they usually get, I think we have more this year already. There was a few -30 to -40 days. And yes, August weather kinda sucked (it Rained... I mean really rained not blowing, nasty snow like rain... REAL RAIN!) But I'm not going to complain. Its all perspective.
I have lived through many white Christmases, lots of Brown ones too. This year its a White one. And oh my is it awesome!
