in Drake's 767 at the Hamilton Airport and took limos back to Toronto after winning the championship. Toronto winters are not bad. And it is getting warmer every year. They have never lived down the time 25 years ago when they had a two foot snow storm and the frazzled mayor called in the army. They are not used to snow storms. The rest of the country thinks they are wimps. I'm in Ottawa and it definitely gets winter. If you go south of Hamilton to the Niagara Peninsula it is really mild and they actually grow fruit and grapes there. I actually just had a strawberry milkshake made with berries from there. Delicious. If you move to British Columbia they have very mild rainy winters there in the south. But they also have rainy summers. All in all i like the change in seasons. Plus i overheat at the least exertion. I used to power through it and excercise when i was younger but now find it really uncomfy. I take a rag with me to wipe my brow these days in ottawa. Sunny and warm finally. My heat and sweating is so extreme it has to be some scottish-german gene mutation that never caught on. My mom had it too. I definitely belong in the north.
