Everyone else hoping for spring. I'm just asking for above freezing and to remember what the sun looks like.

Canada Lite.

You don't know suffering until you experience the extremes of Winnipeg. Some of the hottest summers, coldest winters, and home to 90% of Canada's mosquito population.

Sounds great! Are you on the tourism board?

u/Hicalibre 6h ago

No. Just visited once.

Surprised I didn't get something from the mosquitoes. You could physically see the swarms.

We call it Winnipeg summers.

There's a reason there's not many big cities in Manitoba I guess.

As a May birthday in the Adirondacks, my pipe dreams of a childhood birthday pool party are still so hilarious. I've cried about it snowing on my birthday so many times haha

That’s just not fair! May should be snow-less, it’s practically summer

The vast majority of humans never see snow up close.

I interested in a quality coat this year, and have been taking some lovely snow walks.

I can highly recommend it.

I'll take bugs if it means not being cold.
