The great CFC chain letter part 2: around the world in 800 days!

You do not want to live in northern Canada. I'm not sure exactly how far you mean or how cold it'd get, but it'd be cold! Southern Canada is really your best bet

Define "northern Canada." Honestly, it's all relative. I wouldn't want to live in the Northwest Territories. It's too far between pockets of civilization larger than towns or villages, and it does get insanely cold up there, even by my standards, and I prefer fall/winter to spring/summer.

Want to be in the hot spot of Canada? The southern interior of British Columbia is your best bet, and there are lots of lakes to cool off in when it gets too oppressive.

That would be my winter, then. Summer for me would be winter in New Zealand (which isn't really that cold). I want snow.

I did once spend six months in New Zealand, which was autumn/winter/early spring there. This effectively meant that I missed summer that year and had three winters in a row. It was awesome.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Do they get snow in New Zealand? (honest question, since I've never seen pictures of it having snow)

 

[JohannaK]

Haven't you seen Peter Jackson's LotR trilogy?

 

[Valka D'Ur]

No, I haven't. The only stuff I've seen that was filmed in New Zealand is Xena: Warrior Princess and most of the Hercules series. I don't recall either of them having copious amounts of snow.

 

[JohannaK]

Well, you could see snow on them mountains. I don't know if it snows in the North Island, but it sure does in the Southern one.

Y'all are weak. You haven't experience summer until you've been in DC during July. 100^oF and oppressive humidity.

Oh, you want snow! Go live in BC then, close to the Rockies, or on the other side in Alberta I thought your plan was to avoid snow by flying back and forth between the hemispheres every 6 months

they don't call them the Southern Alps for nothing!

I can attest to this.

DC is humid as hell during the summers.

I spent a few weeks in the summer of 2005 in DC with a group lobbying for some FDA reform. The day I flew in, the heat index with like 50C+

It was insane.

So, I'm a little confused. You're an ice pig canadian who was lobbying policy issues in DC? How does that happen?

WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?! [/jack bauer]

And just as glad of it. I've spent 8 hours outside shoveling snow in a blizzard with a case of acute bronchitis on 2 hours sleep. And even that is better than 100^oF and oppressive humidity.

He's American!

Hell naw. Snow ruins everything. The worst hot weather does is make you sweaty.

unpossible. What sort of 'merkin would set his video game forum persona's location to Ottowa willingly?

Trust me, this guy's a fink.

Yeah. I'm from Ohio. This was 2005. I didn't move to Canada for another year.

PS: Kiefer Sutherland is Canadian, practically Canadian royalty.

 

[classical_hero]

All great Canadians are Americans, just like all great Kiwi's are Australian.

Plotinus once said he'd never seen more than 2 feet of snow in his entire life. I think that's terribly sad.

He is not a Canadian citizen, yet lives in Ottawa.

Since when?

The recently-deceased Stompin' Tom Connors - now HE is "practically Canadian royalty."

You're joking right? His dad is Donald Sutherland. His mom is Shirley Douglas. His grandfather was Tommy Douglas -- who happens to be considered the greatest Canadian. He's as close as you can get to Canadian royalty without actually being a royal.
