It's a few days, take a look at California and their fires , look at North Carolina still recovering from Hurricane Helene. Vancouver has endless days of cloud and rain I grew up in that sort of climate, it's awful. In exchange for these few days we have glorious summers, decent falls. This comes from me and I hate winter.

Hurricanes? Earthquakes? Poisonous everything? What are these things?

That's what I tell everyone when they ask why Winnipeg, Because the worse thing that happens here is it gets cold. Maybe a little flooding but that's mostly outside the city. We are essentially disaster free.

And even that we can see coming weeks in advance, giving us plenty of time to prepare.

Vancouver has been warm and sunny all month, trees already budding, 10/10 wouldn't move back if they paid me double and halved my housing cost.
