i'm living in Ottawa now, and i've lived an hour outside it my whole life until now. It got pretty hot this summer, and it gets friggin cold most winters... then again i remember a green christmas. i got an RC truck and went outside and drove it around the lawn.
there isn't some invisible weather border between us and you americans where suddently everything is covered in snow 365 days a year

northern parts of the states have about the same weather as most of us canadians i would imagine.
