[Dan27369]

I was born in north Los Angeles and have lived within 15 miles north of my birthplace my entire life. My idea of snow is going up to the mountains on a snowboarding trip and then coming back home before 9 p.m. where it's nice and warm. As for my perception of Canada, I guess it's warm enough in the summer (judging from the 3 days I spent in northern Idaho) but in the winter it gets down to anywhere from 30 degrees (0 C) to -30 (-50 something C, I think), on down to -80 (???). There's freezing ice storms, blizzards, 3 to 15 feet of snow, ice wherever there's pavement, etc. etc. I guess that would consitute a particularly bad winter, because that is based on real bad winters in South Dakota and Montana and New England. As for rain... a lot more than here in Southern California, that's for sure. The reason Americans think like this, I think, is because a lot of the Canadian lore we've heard takes place in the Yukon or Nunavat/Northwest Territories, or in the wilderness in the northern central portion (Yukon Jack, the Mounties, Nanuk of the North, etc.). I know that someone who lives in Detroit or Vermont would know a lot better than a California boy like myself.
