Here in sweden, we have icebears on the streets. Didn't you know that?
I'm feeding one right now through my window with raw fishheads.

I was snowmobiling to the peak of Whistler just the other evening, it was between -30 C and -40 C. Good snowboarding there too, I'm thinking about moving to Vancouver because I just got an internship with a video game company there.

All of the weather in this hemisphere has been messed up by El Nino a few years ago. Heck, I was outsides in shorts once again yesterday.

I believe this statement sums up any midwestern USA, northern USA, and non-costal Canadian weather:

It's so cold I saw a dog frozen to a fire hydrant.

Do not steal the "Polar Bears wondering in the streets" thing. I reserved by Finland. Why? Helsinki is much norther than Stockholm. Helsinki is about as north as the southern tip on Greenland.

don't you mean "a perfect 15-21 degrees celsius right now" ? who still uses fahrenheit?? that's so old school!

it's -22 C today where i am.. no wind so it's actually fairly pleasant outside.

Never heard anyone say that about finland before, but ok. You can have the bears.
Now there is a group of penguins outside the door. I think they want the fish i feeded that swedish-nonexisting-polar-bear with.
