A joke for all the Canadians on here.

[Lace Neil Singer]

I emailed this to a Canadian friend. She got a good laugh.

[lordlundar]

I'd put up an argument, but that is pretty accurate.

[taxguykarl]

Good one.
You could easily replace some of those for US cities.

Back when I was doing sprite-comics, I did one at my then-girlfriend's urging. She's from New England, and currently living in suburban Boston.

[MoonCat]

Haha been there done that.

Hated it.

Probably going to be doing it again. Soon. *sigh*

Today was the first day in months that people bitched about the cold here. It was down to 78. Possibly 76.

(No, I'm not kidding. Some people actually were bitching about the cold.)

I live in Texas...76-78 is NOT cold (unless you're talking Kelvin or Rankine temperature scales...)

When I was a teenager in the early 1990's we flew up to Maine one summer to visit some of my grandmother's relatives.

We got there, and the high one of the days was 85. This was in July. I can't tell you how often I heard "It's so hot!"

I told them, "Wait a minute...let me tell you about hot. Hot is 90 degrees in the shade, and a high temperature of 100 degrees..."

[Teysa]

I live in Texas too but I spend my summers in Alaska. If the temperature gets up to 70, they consider it a heat wave. Of course, I get to laugh at my Alaskan friends for saying that 70 is hot, and they get to laugh at me for saying that 40 is cold.

[Jay 2K Winger]

I lived for three years in suburban Dallas, TX. The summer heat down there was actually preferable to the summer heat in the DC area where I grew up and where I live now.

Texas, you see, has a dry heat. The DC area has humid heat, and I will take dry heat over humidity every time.

There was one amusing case while I was in Texas-- I had a doctor's appointment after school that day, and was awaiting pick-up outside. That day, a "blue norther" swept in, dropping the temperature about forty degrees, to the point where there were occasional snow flurries as I was waiting for Mom. Since we hadn't been expecting the front to hit that quickly, I didn't have a jacket.

Also waiting outside that day was another student, likewise without a jacket, looking utterly unperturbed by the cold. When I questioned this, he shrugged and said, "I'm from Minnesota, this is nothing."

[HotelMinion]

Ugh DC is so hot during the summer. This past summer was not bad tho. I've been to Florida during the summer and their hot is even more scorching than ours *shudder* gave me a head ache unless I was indoors or in the pool 24/7.
I've thought about moving more north but slipping on ice isn't my thing either

Our fellow Canadians from all over laughed at us Torontonians and mocked us heartily when our then-mayor Mel Lastman called in the Army to dig us out from the snowstorm of 1999.

Just goes to show you that stuff like this happens even in Canada.

[DeltaSierra]

As a Canuck LIVING in New England, I approve of both pics!!!

Probably because Here in Edmonton we get that at least once a season.

A CW of mine went to Florida once with family and the first day it was about 72. They were walking around in shorts & t-shirts, and all the locals were staring at them like they were nuts. The locals were wearing heavy coats.

You get acclimated to where you live, generally.
