I'd consider southern Ontario "practically" sub-Arctic.

The USSR, northern United States, certainly Canada and alot of Europe have winters which would give Pluto a run for its money.

I get a kick out of these posts! MrMarbles is right, I saw a comment somewhere that 70°F is cold, are you kidding me??? Its been in the high 60s, low 70's for a week and people go by walking or on their bikes heading for the beach, shorts, tank tops, swim suits, life in the midwest.

Saturday I went to a corn roast, even though we all knew it was going to be chilly later, no one was dressed in jeans/sweatshirts!

I love the summers in Alaska; low temps and virtually no humdidity. The winters I could do without; long, dark, cold, snow, ice.

According to Wikipedia, NYC has subtropical climate because even in January it is not cold enough to support a "persistent snow cover". Go figure. I guess everyone has their own definitions.

Hello..............I have avoided posting in here, because I didn't want to "jinx" the weather where I live!!!

Instead I "jinxed" it by posting in "what's the temp. where you live"!!!
It's been a summer that felt close to HE double hockey sticks!!! And I will not be posting in there until our weather starts cooling off.................which might be never!!!!

Thank goodness I got to spend most of August in Wa. state, where the weather was just perfect!!!

In the shade and with a strong breeze I would agree.

Seriously though, now that I'm acclimatized to summer
from time-to-time I can feel cold when it's approaching 75 F or lower indoors,
though oddly I don't get cold with those temps as easy outside.
I think I expect comfort indoors, which is why I notice when it's too cool easier.

*In summer during daylight hours, there should be no reason to "need" long sleeves, weather-wise.

I just moved here and coming from a hot humid state, this is somehow a little cooler (came from Mississippi) than good ol Miss.
