Well, my consort and i spent a week in Vancouver, British Columbia in 
February of this year - he was thinking of moving up there, but he 
never got around to filling out the paperwork.

Anyway, when we were there they were complaining about how cold it 
was - it was just around freezing (i.e., 28-32 F) - and they said 
that was really unusual. Rarely snows there...

I'm originally from Chicago, and i say, you can keep winter - i'm 
freezing here in SF Bay area cuz it has been around 40 F at night, 
and i have the heat turned way down to save money. The winter i moved 
back up here, 1988, it was in the 20s and many trees froze to death 
all around the Bay Area.

So, Vancouver is a bit cold for me, but really quite tolerable, 
compared to points east at the same latitude.

And there was a shop that sold the best cake, True Confections - i 
rarely like cake, but we went there twice...

And lots of ethnic restaurants - Malay, Persian, Turkish, and the 
usual suspect (Chinese, Thai, etc.)

And some neighborhoods have plenty of nice Victorian houses that 
reminded me of where i live now.
