We are like sister cities across the boarder here. Though I would argue from a place of pride that ours is the nicer city Not that Seattle is any slouch there. We have been having the same EPIC summer you guys have of course, it down right feels like we are living in Hawaii or something these past 2 months. Every day I wake up to 25 - 30 degree weather and not a cloud in the sky. The whole city is beach crazy right now, and with our annual celebration of light firework festival starting up tonight it's gearing up to go into overdrive. But I agree on our winters Rain rain rain, overcast overcast overcast. I tell you this coming winter is going to be extra hard after this AMAZING summer we are having. Also agree on the expense, we are the most expensive city in Canada, and one of the most expensive in North America (real estate wise I think it may be THE most expensive). But I really love it here!
