prepare for Winter-To all new comers

[Cutegirl]

I am in canada(Calgary) 16 years now.

my message to all new comers-pack stuff for winter, bring lots winter clothes, summer is very nice here, winter is terrible, and we can already feel winter is on its way. i know things are much cheaper from India.

Temperature reaches below -40°

I am waiting on my nephew(jass) we will hear tomorrow, as his status changed today.
Good luck to everyone.

Hi

Yeah sure, we spend our winters in Vancouver riding through the streets with our sled dogs and shooting polar bears in Stanley Park. Last winter there was No snow in Vancouver. Didn't you watch the Olympics? They had to truck snow in from the interior to Grouse/Cypress mountain. Vancouver averages about 50 days a year where the temperature goes below freezing. -40 you may get in the Prairies, but not on the West or East coasts.

Wow. Thanks for this info. Is it better to buy winter clothes there? I mean is it generally cheaper? I'm just worried about the weight of my luggage if I'm to bring heavy coats etc.
