My image of Ottawa at this time of year is...the second coldest capital city in the WORLD behind Ulan Bator in Mongolia. I kid you not, it's the truth.

I live in Victoria, where lately it has been typically grey like it is so much of the year, but colder than usual for this time of year, I'd say. We even had a little snow the other day. Looked very pretty but didn't last long. I actually wish we would get more snow. It brightens things up. People go on about how amazing the weather is in Victoria but it isn't! It's chilly and damp and grey and sometimes it's that way even in June or July!! But we do have the most gorgeous springs.

Canadians love to talk about the weather

I can do without winter weather and coats..I hate wearing a coat and I hate being cold.
 
Yeah well what's your mental picture of Minnesota around this time of year. It was so nice and warm this weekend, but today it is freezing cold, wind is blowing, sky is grey and icky. blah. 5F (-15C) with the wind chill.

What's your picture of Toronto??? Normally it snows from November-April and there is always a nice layer of the white stuff covering the ground. This year we have only had 3 snowfalls, and they all melted within 48 hours. Normally it is very cold -10 isn't considered to be out of the norm. Yesterday it was 11!!!

I am not complaining, AT ALL!!

i can't remember the last time toronto had that 'normal' snow fall.
i guess my point is canada, and ontario specifically, seems to me to be getting a whole lot warmer with each passing winter. much different from my childhood-i grew up in mississauga and would agree that then-mid eighties we would get sustained snow for the winter period.

maybe i'm just talking out of my ass though, i don't know.

Totally. Brampton was always covered in snow when I was a kid. I could go tobaggoning every day if I wanted to. We would have 2-3 snow days a year, and the school busses were cancelled once a week during the winter.

It is supposed to get cold this week though, and possible flurries!!! I just hope that the winter doesn't start this weekend. If that is the case then we will be skiing on May 2-4 instead of camping.

LOL!! Sooooo true! I live in Victoria too, and the weather here is NO different than in Dublin. Funny thing is like you said above, people think the weather here is great, but do you ever hear of people boasting about great the weather in Dublin is? NO! That's because it sucks, and it sucks in Vic too! We just have the better weather I suppose of Canada, seeing as though we are nearly the only place that doesn't get snow on a regular basis.
 
time to pay the piper methinks.
It's the Pacific island nations I feel sorry for.

Good luck...... to us all. Although I don't believe it'a a matter of luck, just common sense.

I drove around DOWNTOWN BIRMINGHAM today (yes, like the Chuck Berry song) with my windows down, listening to U2 - 7, and I was HOT! Must be in the 70s here!

If you live in the North, expect snow and ice and cold. Matter of fact, many people who live in the north do so for those very reasons.

Yesterday was 65 F in Boston. Today it was in the 40's. Tomorrow it will snow - perhaps as much as 6 inches. Then freezing rain/ice. Then cold. Then more snow. This is New England weather - not 65 F in January!

We get 9 months of the year where no jacket is required. If you want 12 months with no jacket, move south and stop complaining!
