Denver is one of the cities I keep in my list of weather cities. You guys have crazy differences between daytime highs and nighttime lows. Denver is like 15 at night and 60 in the day sometimes

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.

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.

You wouldn't think… Any idea why?

We generally get some warmer days here and there in March. But we've had a few Aprils that were depressingly cold and raw. That's when it's hard to cope.
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.

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.

We around 10 degrees last week and the low 20's this week. Mid 30's next week will feel tropical.
Once and a while we get a 60 degree day but we often get a little snow in opening day of baseball. which is March 28th this year.
It usually gets pretty tolerable pretty quickly after opening day.

Our April Fools Day came a little early. Look at the contrast between our shitty weather above the front, and the taste-o-summer below it. Right now, we're getting snow and freezing rain.

And BTW, that Howdy-Doody-looking weather dork was in my younger daughter's high school class in NH, and then followed us up to Maine.

We had drizzle and rain up till an hour or two before the game yesterday, but the sun came out and eventually warmed up to the mid 60's.
Not too shabby for an opening day.

We're not going to get out of the 40's today, and likely not out of the 50's all week. Plus it's been raining off and on most of the night into the morning.
