It wouldn't be a problem if it was cold and snowy though, since the soil would freeze, at least on the surface.

It isn't a problem here. Yet.

You chose a wrong country to be born in.

I like the UK, minus the winters. I'd like to move to somewhere with colder, snowier winters, but I might miss home.

^^ I think you would like Canada, but most notably the Toronto area. Quebec might be too cold for you?

Sure. Weather is seldom a good reason to move.


It's the independent café bar scene.

Toronto seems too unreliable for a snow pack. The Maritimes would be better, but even they get too much winter rain.

In any case though, a Toronto winter would be much better than here, no doubt about it. Their current weather looks fantastic.

I voted no. I love winter! I hate melanomas that come along with summer.

Somewhere farther north in Ontario or anywhere in Quebec would probably suit you. Montreal may have warmer than ideal summers, but the winters are solid.

I would definitely move to Canada and not only for climate reasons. Not as bat**** crazy as the US.

Also, it makes me feel safer at night, probably because it makes things appear brighter. I love going for walks at night in the snow, and I sometimes see other people doing the same with their children (I remember one night in January, after a very heavy snowfall, a family went for a snowball fight on the road, since it was covered in several inches and no cars could get by).

I'd be more than happy to switch my climate for yours.
Ya lets switch.

Actually while I find English summers very poor. For the winters I prefer green or brown to white, and I don't mind when it's cloudy and rainy. Snow doesn't do a thing for me especially when it snows here more than anywhere's else.

Wouldn't England get a bit too cold and wintry for you at times?
