Alberta Wind Storm

My friend just called me from Alberta and told me there was a huge wind storm. We had this whole debate on which place gets the strongest winds. I'm from western Canada have realized how a few years ago we had some major wind storms. Alberta wins without a doubt with winds, but her in BC, the rain is a symbol. Alberta gets precipitation more on the cooler side with snow. BC is a mild place like always so when it rains during December it's no surprise. In a way I always believe the rain really makes the small town people depressed.
