Heard someone claim Calgary is the sunniest major city in Canada. That cannot be right with our winters, can it?

It is true for sunshine hours. We get over 2300 a year. Cold and sunny is the default.

Sunniest major city is the claim and it holds up. The cold just makes it feel less sunny.

The chinooks help. You get these random warm sunny days mid winter.
