Too bad you guys don't have an NHL team anymore. What league are the Oilers in now? Welcome from the Cariboo.

Climate
Fort McMurray has a borderline humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification Dfb, just above a subarctic climate), with long, very cold winters and warm, short summers.
The town lies at a lower elevation than most other parts of Alberta, so under the right conditions, it can be a 'hot spot' for Alberta or even all of Canada (as in April 1980 when its daily mean temperature of 10 °C (50 °F) was unsurpassed by any other Canadian station).[12]
Temperatures average −18.8 °C (−1.8 °F) in winter, with the lowest recorded −50.6 °C (−59.1 °F) on February 1, 1947.
In July, temperatures average 16.8 °C (62.2 °F), with the highest recorded being 37.0 °C (98.6 °F) on August 10, 1991.[13]
Its average annual precipitation is 419 millimetres (16.5 in) and falls mainly in the summer months. Its average annual snowfall is 134 centimetres (53 in)[13] and appears within a range of 5 to 7 months.

Welcome to the board, from a little further south of you! :welcome:
You'll get used to the weather comments. Some folks just don't have an appreciation for snow. :confused3: Not sure why!
And don't worry about the Oilers comment. It comes from the place where they have just introduced lobster rolls, gourmet hot dogs, and new types of beer in an effort to try to get fans back to watch the Canuckleheads! :drink: Vancouver Canucks tickets still going cheap despite customer service rebrand - British Columbia - CBC News
