I can certainly agree with the first one. My one visit to Cali in the middle of winter, I was wandering around in a t-shirt and jeans and everyone else was wearing heavy winter jackets. I think it was a good 12°C at the time.

Heck, you're fine in a t-shirt up to about ten below freezing if its not windy and you keep moving.

Hilarious! Might be a little optimistic about the Leafs' potential...

I am from California, and yes, we are weather weenies. Guilty as charged.

But I thought Canadian weather and seasons could be summarized as "winter and tough sleddin"?

A LITTLE ?????????

Well, we had our day of summer today (10 degrees), so I used it for a road trip to London (didnt get the gun I was after, but DID pick up a bottle opener made from a 50-cal round ) and spent the rest of my summer putting a Kenwood into the truck. Didnt get to the back-up camera or aux lights, but maybe this fall (tomorrow, 6 degrees) then we are back to winter on Monday.
