Here, in the winter, most people go to Mexico.
The summers here are sooo hot!!! Maybe not to some of the people near the equator, but they are hot to me!
My friends had a good laugh in the winter when we were talking about how hot the summers are in the southern states, and if a person from there came up here in the winter..they would freeze! lol the temperatues here in winter are generlly below 10

You think the summers in BC are hot?!?!?! *gasp*

You probably have one of the coolest summers in the world! When my cousin came to visit us from BC, he was dying on a cool summer day (85 degrees). We can bear it in the 100s. Can't believe you think 70-80 degrees is a hot summer! I've been to BC numerous times in the summer (July) and it felt like spring!

46 C = 122 F Wolfsoul. I'd be dying with heat exhaustion!!!!!

Our summers 45C once & a while its hotter
Our winters -50C or even colder & u can't forget about wind chill, thats when it feels colder then it really is, & that wind freezes u quite fast... I think this winter was the worst for long lasting -40 (& colder) temps... I couldn't leave the house & walk to the bus stops, I had to get a drive to work & school everyday.

& the worst winter ever was when we had "Ice Storm '98" so many trees died, u couldn't walk outside, I had to use a hoe to break ice in the back yard so my dog Max could go pee without slipping & hurting himself. There was no power for 3-6 weeks for thousands of people, so many pets died & I think only 2 people died cause a huge tree fell on their traylor

Oooh in the hundreds, that sounds hot! It is really hot, I can't stand it! And even worse, I usually go to Creston in the summer, and it's sooo much hotter than it is here!

When I went their last year, my friend and I took cold showers with our clothes on, slept with ice packs under our clothes and no blankets, and usually just spent the day sitting around fanning ourselves lol. My friend actually convinced me to jog at one point! Ahk! Never again!

I'm not sure if our winters go as far down as yours, Kingrattus, the coldest I've heard is -30....The average winter is -10 though.

o i love the fresh wonderful smell of summer! unfortunately, i havnt smelt it yet!

Ont & Que get hit fairly harsh. but I'm only talking province wise. the YK, NWT, NV r lots colder & get more snow then any of us. PEI this year was unusaly warm & snowless (or it only had a bit of snow) I was walking around in a sweater & light pants for a week during Xmas, but coming back to Ont's super cold weather -40C or colder just sucked... hehe
