I remember being in Toronto when it was about -14 out, thinking no biggie, boy was it ever cold out, felt like -25 in Calgary.
Those average temperatures stats dont mean a whole lot, because as i said dryer the climate the easier it is to deal with colder temperatures.
in Cagary if its -30 out for a few days, once it warms to about -10 it feels so much warmer and a lot easier to take.
No Canadain city had good weather or a good climate compared to most of the world.
You want the same weather everyday move to Hawaii.

I am quite aware of the diff in dry vs wet cold. However I never, nor do i claim out east is warmer than calgary, winter wise, its all relative and the same essentially, cold! Calgary is not warmer nor colder than Toronto in winter. Of course it will be easier to take it drops down to -10 from -30, either way, its still cold.
However Vancouver is warmer in winter than here in Calgary.
As far as moving to a warmer climate, trust me, i am trying dearly to leave. Just has to be economically and career feasible.
