Considering here in Winnipeg, Canada, where it reaches -35C or even colder, it was pretty wild having weeks on end of +30C to even +39C temperatures, and so soon into our summer.
I never want to complain about the heat when we have snow for 7 months, but that was ridiculous.
The upper Midwest really has some of the worst weather in North America. Get schlonged by freezing temps and snow for 6 months followed by heat for another 6 months.
I genuinely don’t understand, no disrespect intended but why do you remain there? Could you not just move south to a warmer climate? -39c just sounds uninhabitable.
I will gladly, cheerfully, trade any 39c day for a -39c day. Cold is easily manageable with more / better clothes. Even when dressed for the heat, it still saps your energy like crazy and makes you feel like shit in the process.
I guess it’s down to the environment you grew up in and a bit of personal preference too. I love the cooler months of spring and autumn but both the heat in the summer and the very cold winter make me sluggish, I prefer the heat though over the cold; get the loungers out, some beers, bbq time
Moving south to a warmer climate usually means either significantly warmer summers or a significantly higher cost of living. Or both.
Yeah it sucks dealing with extreme cold occasionally and long winters, but it’s a lot better than living in the south where it’s unbearably hot and humid for 8 months of the year. And any place with a temperate climate such as the Pacific coast is prohibitively expensive.
We had one snow storm in Connecticut last year and could skate on the ponds for only a couple of days. I’m surprised that our tick season wasn’t as bad as it was.

Here in Montreal we have the hottest muggiest summers and the brutalest freezing cold winters. It makes me want to move to the maritimes.
I’d have to research if your weather is more extreme than ours or not.
I’ve yet to visit the Maritimes. It’s on my wishlist.

Hi Winnipeg. Come join us in [email protected] – it’s in need of an infusion of complaints about the weather ;)
I think the link to communities needs to be !c/[email protected]
The way yours is written makes causes my app to search for a user instead of a community.
Edit: Nevermind, that format also didnt work, sorry :(
My app messes it up too, but it works on the web interface as expected. Flaw in the app, not the format.
Oooo That makes sense, thanks for explaining :) hopefully it gets patched soon, im sad i didnt get to see whats going on in Winnipeg lol
I already subscribed there. Thanks!

It’s not that bad. You just put on more clothes

You must have a crazy assortment of clothing fit for both of those two extremities :D
