I moved from Ontario to the east coast for the winter. Pleasantly surprised: it's been MUCH milder out here than I was expecting. Statistically it's supposed to be something like 3-4C (6-8F roughly) warmer through the winter months. My dad likes the weather trivia, so I emailed him a comparison I made of temps between here and there. I know he'll get a kick out of it:



I've been mountain biking in shorts 2x this week, including today. It's been unusually warm. I know that's going to come to an end soon enough!
