Low of -16C overnight tonight, high of -12C tomorrow.

Every year I ask myself why we still live here, because I hate the winter. I hate the cold, I hate the snow. I love the sun, summer, beaches, breezes, etc. And even when it's as hot as hades out, I still say I prefer it to the extreme cold.

So why do we stay? A number of reasons, I guess. Family is close, for one. I do feel Ontario is "home" and always will be (though I don't really feel tied to a city). Prefer the Canadian way of life over the American. Our summers are really nice, and from early September to late November, I doubt there's a more beautiful place on earth than Ontario or Quebec - our autumns are spectacular.

But January and February (and really most of March) sure are miserable. In the next few months, I'll see Florida, California and India. Less than 2 weeks until Florida - we're counting the days! I just put our kids to bed and reminded them "12 more sleeps!"
