The answer is: (Couch) 84. The question is...

My situation is the opposite! It gets cold here although not below zero, but in the summer it's really freakin' hot!

Me too.... Like not between November and April lol

I didnt know you spoke Canadian!!

I think Sweden uses Celcius...? lol. Mast is one of the few that posts temps I get without needing to convert them.

I use a conversion calculator to convert it to "Canadian" every time someone posts Fahrenheit temps lol. That way I understand it.

A friend of mine once looked at a list of the 100 largest Canadian cities. 97 of them are located south of the southernmost tip of Sweden, and the remaining three are at the same latitude as the southernmost Swedish province - which to me is hopelessly far south (it gets really dark there in the summer!)

The weather tends to be less extreme here than in Canada, though, because of the Gulf stream. -30°C is unusual, and +35° in the shade is very unusual - fortunately. I don't much like that kind of heat.

Since Celsius was a Swede, it would be silly of us not to use his scale (That being said, the Germans don't use Fahrenheit. I don't think anybody does except for the USAnians.)

I don't like that heat either. Where I live we get -40 to +35. I'd rather cold over hot though. Heat is not my friend.

LOL well that would make sense then haha.

I hate the cold and would rather deal with heat.
I remember when they were trying to convert the US to the metric system - huge fail.

Come to the goal tracking decluttering and cleaning thread - we can use the inspiration. I have no doubt that disaster will be history in no time flat.

We went to Canada when I was in the depths of a really severe depression and I became convinced that everyone was using metric just to bother me and make me feel stupid. Shortly thereafter, I had a meltdown in a McDonald's line when the clerk got nasty with me because I could not figure out which coins to give her. I ended up bawling in the subterranean tunnel thing that Canadians use to move around in their insanely cold winters. I vaguely recall my husband's anxiety because he could not get a cell signal to call my doctor in the tunnel. He said the doctor told him to drive the whole time and not to take me in tunnels no matter how cold it was. Interestingly, staying out of the tunnels was helpful, and the people out on the streets were incredibly nice (as opposed to the horrible tunnel people).

Dude, it's so true! I once visited Uppsala in February and I was prepared for something really extreme (preinternet, hadn't done my homework checking weather trends) and I could not get over how mild it was compared to southern Canada. I You guys know a thing or two about weather! The dark on the other hand...

The idea of being stuck in tunnels with others sort of makes me anxious. I might could do skywalk sort of things - but tunnels for any length of time or distance would creep me out.

(((Mkac))) "the tunnel people" you make them sound like something out of Total Recall! I thought the tunnels in Montreal were nice, it was like being in a shopping mall. But anything is nice when its in french. Snails.

lol what tunnels are these that you speak of? The only tunnels where I live are the odd commuter train station.

Any time I've been the US I've always fumbled with the paper money that all looks the same to me lol

lol sounds like my home office which is essentially a level of its own. We use it as a dumping ground. It is a mashup up baby stuff, Festivus pole, empty boxes, Christmas gifts I have yet to home, and all my work stuff which is everywhere. I need to catch up on my filing and document shredding. Not to mention the pile of work sitting on my desk to deal with.

If I only did therapy when it was below 100 I wouldn't go May thru October

It took me the longest time to get used to all the notes being the same color when I first moved here. And the 5c coin being so much bigger and heavier than the 10c coin... Why? And quarters instead of 20p's and 50p's. Confusing as unholy hell!

LOL! Well our coins are the same as the U.S. Coins except we also have $1 and $2 coins. So I only struggled with the same colour paper money.

The U.S. has a $1 coin, as well...
