Yep, four seasons in one day usually. Wear a polar North Face jacket in the morning, shorts in the afternoon and a sweater in the evening.Denver is one of the cities I keep in my list of weather cities.

Calgary, AB can be wild. The have Chinooks in the winter which are a weird warm weather pattern from the mountains. They can get temperatures in the 70Fs in the middle of winter. But you always have to take your parka as Chinook winds are fickle. When they stop, Calgary descends into normal winter which can be down in the -40F range very quickly (it is a prairie city).
Interesting fact. Although one would think that the warm breaks in the winter would be welcome, they have tracked suicide rates in Calgary and they spike with a Chinook.

There's been instances when it's bitterly cold that I've come down with a few cases of SAD (seasonal affective disorder). Not hard to do when it hasn't been warm in a very long time. Looking forward to this upcoming week of 50s and 60s.We generally get some warmer days here and there in March. But we've had a few Aprils that were depressingly cold and raw.

I've heard theories. Without any conclusive facts, the theory that makes the most sense to me is that the human mind is incapable of dealing with sudden changes in weather or situations outside the norm. At least for some people.You wouldn't think… Any idea why?

A friend in NJ saw 82 degrees, just to make me feel even worse.I didn't realize NYC was 77 while we were in the 30s! Sunuvagun!
