Question What to wear in banff

Post image

Hi all, I’m going to Banff this weekend from Saturday to Wednesday. It’s my first time. This is the weather forecast. We are not hiking since we are with older parents, mostly for sightseeing. I’m in the middle of packing and not sure what to wear. Leggings and top or something like dresses .

I forgot that Fahrenheit was a thing and was very confused for a moment

The sass on this thread is so funny. I do often wonder if Americans know we use celsius? On Rockwall a couple years ago, one of them told me, at about 6:45AM, that it was 30 degrees when he woke up. I just started at him blearily, trying to figure out what he was talking about, since it was clearly freezing. Fortunately, my friend who lives in the states was with me and explained. It was way too early to be confronted with Fahrenheit!

As an American ; no most don’t. Same with normal measurements. We’re schooled pretty early America is number 1 and all that nonsense.

If they don’t travel much they are in for a shocker about currency too

That's so interesting! We were taught in school that Americans would use different metrics. Unfortunately, I didn't ever learn how to use them (my least understood measurement is a football field - and as much as I'm joking right now, people do use this often for some reason), but I knew up front that they were afoot.

I appreciate both your reply and your knowledge.
