Yammy Posted May 28, 2011 #1 Posted May 28, 2011 Visiting our Son and family in Calgary. Kinley was 2 months old on the 24th. We brought along our riding gear, thinking of renting a couple of bikes for a day or two while here. Nothing but rain. We all went to Banff for the weekend and woke up to 2 inches of snow yesterday more this morning. Boy am I glad we didn't trailer the bikes. On the bright side, we've been spending a lot of time together. But, what's with the weather?
SilvrT Posted May 28, 2011 #2 Posted May 28, 2011 It's not uncommon to get snow in that area this time of year ... in fact, it can happen anytime...even in middle of summer.

Yep, what he said, you have a fair bit of altitude so snow isnt uncommon. Heck there is probably still skiing at Sunshine village just up the road from Banff a few minutes Brian Edited May 28, 2011 by friesman
Sailor Posted May 28, 2011 #4 Posted May 28, 2011 Just heard on the radio today that we have had only one day of normal temperature all month. The rest of the month has been colder ( and wetter)than normal.

SilvrT Posted May 29, 2011 #11 Posted May 29, 2011 NO pictures, PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!! sorry... this is what a normal day ride looks like around here these days... [ATTACH]56931[/ATTACH]
99silver Posted May 29, 2011 #12 Posted May 29, 2011 Hey, that looks like the kind of weather here for the last couple of months. Next week looks good for M/D @ Freebirds, I can't wait !!!!!
Sailor Posted May 29, 2011 #13 Posted May 29, 2011 Don't know if any of you have seen a show called Mrs Browns Boys. It is Irish and hilarious. In one episode she gets two seventh day adventists in to her parlor and totally destroys them. The one scene I am reminded of now is where she asks them about Normans Ark (They insist it is Noah's but she doesn't agree) It rained 40 days and 40 nights it was a miracle, she replied that in Ireland that was not a miracle, it was just summer.
