Jonathan,

You are right, everything is relative. I was born and raised around
Montreal, so I think of Toronto winter as temperate. It isn't really winter
unless you get at least 2 weeks where it never gets above -20 and hits -30
to -40 at night and more than 200cm of snow for the winter. My way of
embracing winter, however is to throw another log on the fire or spend more
time in the darkroom.

Johnny,

I'd be interested in attending.  

In terms of the temperature, I have heard that the long term forecast
indicates a snowy but only typically cold Ontario winter (-5 to -10 celcius
in Jan with some dips into the -10 to -20 temp).  The only way to fight the
cold is to embrace it.  Become skiers! I pray for snow and nightime
temperatures below -5 so that they can make snow.  Thank god for this
winter, first time I've skied in Novemeber in about 10 years.
