There are so many cities around the world that say: “if you don’t like the weather, wait 10-minutes.” However, Calgary is the only place where I’ve been where this is true. <\/p>\n

‘Twas a really nice evening. We were picking berries and enjoying the sun when dark clouds came out of nowhere and started spewing pea sized hail. <\/p>\n

The storm became so ferocious that a river formed in front of the house and started to wash rocks from alley down the street. <\/p>\n

By this point we were able to make pretty potent snowballs.<\/p>\n

10-minutes later, the storm ended with a rainbow. No one would have known there was a squall except for the blanket of white stuff that covered everything.<\/p>\n

Five minutes after this, the sun was out again, however, it remained sufficiently cold enough to keep the snow until the next day.<\/p>\n

Snow in August? It happens.<\/p>\n
