Q: what is the weather like? i'll be packing based on the weather..
A: It depends on when you are going. September's weather is very different from December's weather. Usually. ;-) Temps in Calgary are typically listed in Celsius. Calgary doesn't get much precipitation because of its dry atmosphere, but it does get cold in the winter. Edited: BTW -- the Wikipedia article cited below contains a chart of aveage monthly temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. Also, I don't know if the article suggests this, but it is a good idea to pack clothing that you can wear in layers so that you can take some off as it gets warmer during the day. Then you can put it back on as it gets cooler again. In the Spring and Fall, the temperature can change quite a bit from early morning to afternoon, then back down in the evening again. This change could be as much as 20 degrees F or more!
