It was technically still summer less than two weeks ago. The warning signs of winter were completely bypassed and its early arrival caught many Calgarians off guard. Of course, year-round snow in Calgary often seems inevitable, but the question remains: How does this affect the Calgary Flames?
In particular, how did it affect fans trying to watch the Flames? I was interested in how the harsh Alberta winter affected the home crowd. Is weather a big enough reason to stop people from making their way to the Saddledome, or is braving the cold just an inherent part of watching the game?
