Plus a good winter makes you appreciate summer.
I was thinking something along these lines. I dont mind weather in whatever capacity so much, just so long as it changes occasionally.

Every time I hear that I roll my eyes.
Human nature is to be warm and comfortable.

Winter. Sucks. Period.

Locke isn't human. Never met the guy, but I assume he's some sort of snowman/abominable Yeti type of dude. Kinda like this handsome fella . . .

I love winter. There is nothing I like better than going to the mountains, sticking two planks under my feet and sliding down hills.

From Environment Canada:



When everyone says Vancouver house prices are the most expensive I think they are just talking about Vancouver proper not Surrey, Richmond etc.

^^^ Good info, but I would like to see a graph or info on coldest cities in Canada and where Calgary ranks. In the ongoing debate of which is better, Calgary vs Vancouver, the temperature is always a huge debate.

According to The Weather Network (which has too many commercials, too focused on the east and poor forecasting).

Vancouver


Calgary

Gas in Vancouver was 128.8 today at the Petro station on Burrard and 1st. Brutal.
