Apologies for the poetic license; on any day when it's less than 100 degrees it's a pleasant stroll.
I hear you... weather's been awful these days. We get the hot "melt your holga" weather yet six hours east, they're freezing their butts in 9°C weather (that's 48°F) with strong winds.
Cars are stopping by themselves in Montreal. I'm lucky to live in the southern suburbs where there is more green spaces and less traffic...
