I live in lovely alberta...and our winters here are horrible, sometimes. We get a lot of cold snaps and that means it's like -35 with windchill. We got the luxary of having it be MINUS 42 with windchill on tuesday...that is ridiculous! We shouldn't even be allowed out when it's that cold. I started my truck for a half hour and when I got into it it wasn't even warm! Still had to go to work and all, it's horrible! Anyone else experience cold weather like this?

I am from the southern part of India and we have only hot summers and our cold climates are not that much affecting our life.Even the northern parts of our country are affected by cold weathers but we need not wear any sweaters at the least.But our summers are really terrific that we can't go out during the months of June.You easily get sunburns.And some people even die due to sun stroke.

I live around Houston in Texas and it rarely gets down below freezing much where i live. I do not think that I could stand it if it got reallt cold down here. I have often wondered how you people up in beautiful Canada maanage to stand all of that cold and snow (it rarely snows fdown here at all). D oyou have to spend a lot of time shoveling snow off of your roof and driveway? How do you ever manage to drive your car on snow and ice to your job and to grocery store? Ir sounds very dangerous to me.
