If you came to Canada, landed in Montreal, and never left Quebec, you would have a completely different experience from someone who came for the Calgary Stampede, or from those who will take in the 2010 winter Olympics in Vancouver ...
..cold for 2/3rds ... above 60F for 4 months
said that ---albeit in a way that could confuse.

I love trees and wish your climate was warmer...sadly not likely in my lifetime
