This is a simple poll. Selections will magically appear in a minute or two.

The title should have read "Where do you live"

Well, it's cold where I live, but it does get over 70 in the summer. Right now it is 81° and it's 9:30 pm. Edmonton is a bit further north, but it gets over 70 during the summer too.

Ontario here! Born in Toronto, moved to rural Southwestern Ontario as a young child and raised there, and then moved back to Toronto two years ago (love it here in T.O. and plan to stay forever barring anything unforeseen).

That is absosmurfly correct! The number of days we get over 80 are likely less than 15 and warmth overall (in my opinion) probably 3 months (four if we're lucky) I wouldn't mind 9 months of hot weather though. I'd be able to play more softball!!!

5 of the larger ones are the most visible. Further north there is very little population and less reason for people to know about those areas. We have 10 "provinces" and 3 "territories" and I listed them all. I doubt we'll get any votes from Nunavut, Yukon or NWT. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI are very small.

Good thread, Ryan.
Both meowy monsters are born and bred Torontonians.

As for me, hmmm... well I was born in Northern Ontario, and currently live in Toronto, but spent most of my formative years in Southern Alberta.

Side note: The men in Alberta are WAY hotter than Toronto men, IMO. Gotta love those Westerners!

Jenn thinks that Alberta men are the kind she ogles over the most, hence "IMO" standing for "I May Ogle"
Actually, it stands for "In my opinion".
