    As the token Canadian in here, I can confirm it all, except we use a scientifically valid temperature scale: Celcius!

    I think t hat's why Americans thinbk we're in perpetual winter. .

    You see the August 15th news:

    It's a record-breaking high of 107 in Detroit, & across the border, in
    Sarnia, they, too, broke a record high, with 41!
