Our weather is snowy but sunny and we must be about the sunniest place in Canada. Now someone is going to check up on my "fact". Now I have here a Latitude of 45.25, Longitude 75.41, which is just a smidgen north of Toronto. Have a fine Christmas and Good Health to you all.

Here we get an average of only 85cm of snow a year, about 60% of your snowfall. The forecast for Christmas Day here is for rain with a high of 2°C, which is only 4°C cooler than London, England. May you all have a happy, blessed Christmas, and may the New Year be a happy one and bring you health and growth to your trees.
