 | | As Alberta extends for 1200andnbsp;km from north to south, and about 600andnbsp;km wide at its greatest east-west extent, it is natural that the climate should vary considerably between parallels of 49° and 60°andnbsp;north and also between 110° and 120°andnbsp;west. |
 | | Western Alberta is protected by the mountains, and enjoys the warmth brought by winter chinook winds, while eastern Alberta is flat, dry prairie, where temperatures can range from very cold (andminus;35°C (andminus;31°F) in the winter) to very hot (+35°C (+95°F) in the summer). |
 | | Alberta has over 180,000andnbsp;km of highways and roads, of which nearly 50,000andnbsp;km are paved. |
