Wow, it's starnge you speak of it completely non-chalantly but for me it's absolutley extraordinary!
Have you always lived in such a cold climate ? It might be OK if you're used to it from birth but I couldn't imagine moving to a place that cold as an adult!

I was in a conversation with Sharla last week, she has the opposite, she was telling me their summers break 40 Celsius regularly!
As much as I complain about the dull, wet climate we have I should be counting my blessings!
