Strathmore, located approximately 45 kilometres east of Calgary on the Trans-Canada Highway, sits on the open eastern Alberta prairie where weather conditions can be more severe than in Calgary itself. The Bow River valley between Strathmore and Calgary provides no shelter from eastern cold fronts, and Strathmore homeowners experience some of the most extreme temperature swings in the region.
Strathmore’s Prairie Climate and Garage Doors
The flat eastern prairie around Strathmore means full exposure to cold fronts arriving from the northeast and warm Chinook air from the southwest. Temperature swings in Strathmore can be as dramatic as anywhere in Alberta, and the combination of extreme cold and sudden warming events puts garage door springs under the same thermal cycling stress that affects all Alberta communities — arguably more so given the exposure.
