It's Winter
Alas, winter in TO generally means dull skies and a certain amount of humidity with that cold (aka the most drab version of the season). So let's look at a Canadian city, geographically situated for dry, sun and cold - ok, and snow:
Wouldn't you like to be there right now?

I just keep reminding myself it could be worse - I could be in Winnipeg. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! But at least it would be sunny!
DeleteI would prefer California. Really )))
ReplyDeleteIt's about freezing point where I live (north-east of Ukraine) with rather high humidity (so dull skies for weeks). Not pleasant at all.
And I doesn't like snow ) I like late spring and Indian summer (and they are both terribly short :-( ).
Ok, I imagine it's quite like this climate. What city are you in?
DeleteKharkiv/Kharkov (there are two variants: Ukrainian and Russian). And I guess that climates we live in have a lot in common.
DeleteThey do! And I'm embarrassed to say I had never heard of your city till I looked it up on the internet. What a fascinating place!
DeleteThank you and don't be )) Nobody can remember all the cities in Europe ) and Kharkov isn't the city which is often in the news and I love that: because news from Kyiv (our capital) right now are about riots on the streets.
DeleteThe architecture is particularly interesting - old and classic mixed with the Stalinist brutalism. I'd love to twitch my nose and get there for a weekend. I bet it's a great place to hang out.
DeleteI've never thought about my home city as a tourist attraction or as a place with "interesting architecture", it's just that there are a lot of cities in Ukraine and Russia that are so much older and host World Heritage objects, so thank you for that.
DeleteI think that going to Toronto and Montreal would be fun, too.
I used to live by the North Atlantic but now I live by the Coral Sea. I'm never going back.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I get that. :-)
DeleteHmm, the more time I spend outside Florida, the more I miss it. We had sunny and dry and freezing cold in Cheyenne, WY. But sunny and warm is better.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I do see the appeal of warm and sunny - but humid I do not like!
DeleteYes, but mostly because I'd be eating crepes or fondue (possilby both) and having a glass of wine. A big glass of wine.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I can agree with Birdmommy, it's not Winnipeg. That is a realistic threat with Manitoban inlaws. I know they have more sun, which would be nice, but it was snowing in October.
That is exactly what I'd be doing too :-) Snow in Oct = crappy.
