Pretty, Winter को त कुरै नगरौँ, २ महिना त होसै पाईँदैन - स्याउँ, स्याउँती हिउँ परेको प-यै । तर यो साल भने के भयो कुन्नि, पटक्कै परेको छैन । पर्छ कि त भन्यो, अनि फेरि उघ्रिन्छ झट्टै ।Calgary is lucky that it gets warm chinook winds from the pacific like once in 2-3 weeks which stay for a little more than a week and they make everything warm with the temperatures going up to positive double digits. then the northern arctic winds take over and it goes like below -20 degrees celcius. However, for the prairies part, you dont *feel* that cold. Because the region lies in the shadow of the Rockies, it is dry (RH is about 50-70% most of the time). So, even if it is -5 degree celcius, you feel like it is around +10 deg celcius in a more humid place such as Toronto or Kathmandu. We can stroll in shirts and shorts in temperatures upto +5. At zero, a thin jacket is enough. रैथानेहरुले त 0 degree मा बाहिर निस्केर आईसक्रिम खान्छन् . However, when it goes below -15 or so, things get really nasty. We dont feel cold but even our nose freezes (?, कसरी भन्ने, नाकै जमे जस्तो हुन्छ). And they advise that body parts should not be exposed at below -15. Likewise, in the summer when it is even above 30, we dont feel such prickly heat. For me, the worst thing is the variability of weather. I remember last year when it was -25 at 8 AM, so i went off with a double-layered jacket but at noon (within 4 hours), it already was +15 degrees (change of 10 degrees per hour). Because most of us nepalese are not accustomed to live in such temperature variability it really makes us sick. I myself am trying to relocate to the lower mainlands of BC which has one of the best weather-cycles in the world, तर खोई अझै पनि कसैले आईज भनेर बोलाउँदैन, बिजोग भयो । Keep rolling...
