NO KIDDING. I hate May in Calgary. For most of the "winter" (which, for the unknowing, is mid-October through March) there is little precipitation, and then May begins with two weeks of nearly uninterrupted snowfall.

I need to go to work at parks tomorrow; they will send me home after twenty minutes or so, but I still need to wade through hip-deep snow*

It stinks.

*"hip-deep snow" for me is "just below the knee" for everyone else.
