Kilts in Winter

"But at least you acknowledged Canada. That's a good start for us. "

LOL...sorry Racer96, I did leave out the tempering effect of that wee ocean called the PACIFIC when i talked about Canada. That being said, Canada is a BIG place and Vancouver (and other coastal cities) is somewhat the exception when talking about (or is it aboot?) the winter weather. That's really what I was meant when i mentioned Canada.

Besides, with the Loonie beating the tar out of the dollar, it's the USA that may some day become the overlooked country in North America. So, I better get my ill-informed mentions out of the way while I still can :-)

I'm sorry there is another country aside in North America?

Interesting fact that the most southerly point in Canada is Middle Island in Lake Erie. From that point there are 27 US states extend north of that point including California. 13 of those US states lie entirely north of that point. The Frenh Riviera, Rome in Italy, Boston and detroit are all north of this latitude.
So yes, there is extremely cold weather in the US and perhaps worse than at least I see here in Canada. And it gets mighty cold here in the Great Lakes region. Perhaps not as cold as in Calgary, where rumour has it that even parking meters have outlets so that you can plug your engine's block heater in.

I didn't even know those existed until I moved to Minnesota.

I live in Michigan and people are always confused when I tell them we go east to get to Canada, even in the Upper Peninsula, or way down by Detroit!

DALE.

Yeah from Detroit head south, the first country you'll hit is Canada.

At one time Windsor, Ontario was called South Detroit.
