If you like seven months a year of winter, Canada might be your place.

The first snowfall of the year in Toronto
was always beautiful. Big, soft snowflakes.
It’s the only time I’ve ever heard thunder
during a snowfall.

The problem is the later snow never melts, it
just gets dirty and wears away. The coldest
I have ever been was in Calgary in February.
Couldn’t imagine living there permanently.

I lived in Victoria for three years and actually missed winters, for the most part. I do remember one snow, but generally was a matter of cold drizzle. Milder and much less rain than Vancouver, just across the strait.

As Voltaire put it in Candide, Canada is quelques arpents de neige (a few acres of snow).

He was wrong about the size, of course.
