My sister in Calgary said the last time this happened was in 1922. Many crops are not in, people are wondering how much damage there will be because it is below freezing.

Delphi, I am not surprised about you having snow, you are much further north than Calgary. I remember snow in September as a child when I lived in Northern Alberta.
