ok I'm through being teased about Montreal winters and Vancouver's lack of snow and alleged nice year-round weather. Ryan and I just returned from a week in the Vancouver area. I think we saw the sun break through the clouds a total of twice. No kidding.
I just about froze my butt off last Friday golfing too. Cold, very wet, and overcast the entire week. We left yesterday morning and arrived in Montreal in the late afternoon to 26 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.
Vancouver... you can keep your mild winters!
