    Edmonton (that moderate city on the western side, just past the rockies) gets to -50°C in the dead of winter for about two weeks.

    Some years we get snow for 5-6 months (global warming is fixing that) .

    You move more north if you want to. Im fucking good

      Edmonton is the farthest north you can go in the western hemisphere while still having over 1 million people, and yet we still have people that complain about the winters ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Also we hit +40C/104F last month so that was fun.

      And it’s not like it’s gonna get better.

      You’ll get more forest fires and draughts in summer and then, maybe, only -30 in winter.

      Moving up north in Canada is, unfortunately, not a solution.
