Portions of northeastern Ontario (at the same latitude as southern
England), about a six hour drive north of Toronto, are experiencing
extreme cold far worse than that "down south" where I live. Last night
"up north" the low was minus 35C. The high today will only be aroud
minus 25C. The low tonight will approach minus 35C again with a minus
40 or lower windchill.


When the weather is this cold, ice crystals fill the air.


Southern Ontario rarely gets this cold.

Oh I hate you Bob :-)

Seriously, I'm really really jealous! Canada sounds fantastic, you get
warm dry summers too.

Yeah, I like the variety of weather here. I'm glad that it does not
get as cold as northern areas, but we get a taste of the arctic
throughout the winter.
The summer is sunny and warm with an average mid-summer high of 26C
and a low of 16C. On occasion it will get above 32C which is fine with
me. Humidity can be high if there is a persistent southwest breeze off
of the Great Lakes.
