Which Anglo country is the best out of all these things, UK, USA, Canada or Australia:
(I've never been to Australia but I'll try)
Friendliness: USA

Lifestyle: UK--lots of time off, cheap holiday packages to great places
Weather: UK--nice, mild climate yet has four seasons
Nightlife: don't know
Tourist attractions: UK
Economic diversity: USA
Cultural contribution: UK
Urban living: USA
History: UK
Architecture: UK -beautiful architecture from many eras, something for everyone
Transportation: ? no country has great transportation

Cost of Living: Australia? Some parts of the USA
Political Stability: Canada
The Politics: Canada
Economical Stability: Canada
Fun: UK -Pubs, sight seeing, walking, hiking, history
But the point is... as small as a tropical area that the US has, tropical climates do exist. True continental or subarctic climates like you find in Chicago and Fairbanks don't exist in Australia...
I have no idea you keep mentioning Chicago as having a Subartic climate? It is not listed as having one.
As for even the Sub-artic region - The subarctic is a region in the Northern Hemisphere immediately south of the true Arctic and covering much of Alaska, Canada, Iceland, the north of Scandinavia, Siberia, and the Shetland Islands.
It isn't that its offensive. Just inaccurate and sadly those Siberian Express Cold air masses or sometimes called Alberta Clippers from waaay north in periods of coldest temps we hate. Come down into the US Midwest and over the East in winters. But we welcome similar ones if the middle of summer.

Yeah it just doesn't seem right calling Chicago sub arctic lol.. Its cold in the winter fo sho but subarctic like really... Btw don't get all high and mighty about us sending you Alberta clippers - we get enough of your Colorado lows in the winter that create big dumps up here
It is but I still find the most interesting cities in the U.S are the colder one's... NYC, Chicago, Boston and Philly are all cold but are four of the best examples of 'urban' in the country. None of them are 'subarctic' however
Even Toronto and Montreal in Canada aren't and Montreal is about as cold a large and prominent city in N.A you're going to get and again two great cold cities on our continent.

But that west to east pattern is NORMAL across the continent that is not the coldest of air-masses by far. Sorry it effects southeast Canada too and by me. Though much this year seemed to go more north from me this past winter.
Was no comment against Canada or blame. But OMG we all hate them true Artic blast don't we.....

I don't like cold arctic blasts either but don't underestimate those Colorado lows - they have the potential to dump lots of snow on Northeastern cities in the U.S/Can. The last major snowstorm we got this year in T.O was from a Colorado low.
