Jan and Feb?? ONLY!!! Are you kidding me!! My home town Calgary, got snow like clockwork, Labour day Weekend every year. Halloween was NEVER spent without a snowsuit and long underwear under my costume as a kid. Ski hills opened in Novermber and stayed OPEN until MAY (Sunshine stayed open until mid June sometimes!!!). May long weekend had to be spent in the plains instead of the foot hills or mountains to avoid getting snowed on.

But on the flip side of that Calgary got lots of Chinooks and there were times we golfed on Christmas day, and days I shoveled a foot of snow in shorts and a t-shirt.

I left all that behind when I moved to Belize... now I think it's cold when the temp drops below 28C (75F-ish)

Subject: Re: HAPPY CANADA DAY, EH!!!

This lifelong Yank was IN Canada on Canada Day, and had a great time. In
fact, I have greatly enjoyed each and every trip I have taken north of the
border. If not for two little problems named "January" and "February," I
might be tempted to move up there. But The Boss, who attended college at
Potsdam State in Way Upstate New York, has vetoed any return to cold
weather. And she outranks me.
