    See what winter is like at the University of Alberta (in Edmonton, AB, Canada)!
    Winter is a great time to explore and try new things like skating, sledding, skiing, and snowboarding. It's also a great time to enjoy the outdoors in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada! Even when there is snow on the ground, you can enjoy bright blue skies and sunshine. If you want to stay indoors, then there are many cozy cafes around campus, as well as recreational classes, fitness centres, great study spaces, and more.

    For having lived in Edmonton five years, only one word would describe winters in Edmonton: BRUTAL

    After living in Vancouver for college one thing I really missed and made me quite homesick was winter. I used to complain about the winters here, but now that winter is approaching I have an intense feeling of nostalgia and joy!

    Another thing is that there’s hardly any sunlight during the winter up there. A lot of people probably get diagnosed with seasonal effective disorder. Yet during the summer it doesn’t get dark until 11:00 PM. As a New Yorker that would be a difficult adjustment if I lived in Edmonton.

    we use to get 320 sunny days a year, now its more like 20 days a year, less rain less snow but more grey misty sky's. lived here 25 years, use to be great place now its depressing. lack of sun and worm climate really has a toll on the soul.

      -20C most of the winter, usually hitting -30C at some point in January or February for a few days or maybe a week sometimes. A good amount of winter sun, although it seems like less than it used to be. Not gloomy all the time like Vancouver. In recorded weather history, it has actually snowed in Edmonton every month of the year. Fortunately it usually only snows between halloween, and the end of April. Usually.

      “Average temperatures” in Alberta winters are almost misleading - the range of monthly temperature in the winter in Alberta and surrounding areas are the largest on Earth.
      Fort Vermillion ranged from an Antarctic -58˚C to a bare-arms 18˚C in three Decembers from 1911 to 1913, and in Edmonton February 1931 averaged -0.2˚C and February 1936 -27.2˚C! It would be wonderful to see comparative pictures of the two months on the ground - it would have been different worlds, 1931 thawed and bare, 1936 frozen and covered in solid ice!

      @hurricaneofcats 6 років тому +5

      I've lived in Edmonton my entire life. The low temperatures usually hover around -25 in the middle of winter. However, occasionally the temperature can go as low as -30 or even very rarely -40. Another thing to take in to account is a lovely thing known as windchill which means a -25 day can FEEL like -35 and a -32 day can feel like -40. So if you are coming here in winter be prepared for worst case scenario.

    What are winters like in Edmonton? Long, cold, and dark. The sun will come up at 8 and go down at 4. On the plus side, it's not damp, so you can dress up and be warm. No bone-chilling damp like in Toronto. Winter skies will often be sunny, but it'll be -25. Expect the first snow by the end of September. Snow is quite possible up until the end of April. I have even seen it snow in early June in Edmonton. Eight years living in Edmonton, never again.

    Canada is the greatest country in the world. It's the most freest most living and accepting country in the world. In Canada you're so free and loved and accepted and cared for seriously you couldn't be any more freer and loved and accepted in Canada it's way more freer than USA and richer and bigger than USA. Canada has the richest middle class than any other country in the world the cost of living is cheaper in Canada than USA and they pay lower taxes and get more money. They have every American thing as well as their own stuff and much more! It has free healthcare. Canada is literally the greatest country in the world. Canada is heaven!
