August Snowfall in Calgary

Snow fell in Calgary, Alberta, Canada yesterday; more than a trace, too. The Daily Mail (U.K.) reports the story with several photos of the event. Hat tip to Drudge Report for the link.

I'm waiting for someone to associate this seemingly random event with the global warming meme. Believers blame everything from glaciers retreating to spreading Antarctic ice on it.

Here in western Wyoming natives claim it can snow any month of the year, at our 6300' (2000 m) elevation. I say locals claim it, in 20+ summers spent here, I've never seen snow in July and August down where people live. Up on the peaks, maybe, but I will believe it about the valley floors when I experience it myself.
