Which Canadian city really is the rainiest, the snowiest or the windiest? And where is the sunshine capital? check it out on this link.

Excellent link. What would be really useful is a similar link that rates UK cities. This would go a long way in persuading my wife that winters are far more boosting in Canada due to more sunshine hours.

I challenge someone to find a link that can be used to compare Canada/UK city weather?

Talking of cool weather, this from today's Ottawa Citizen.

"Record cold temperatures, combined with wind chill values between minus 30 and minus 39, made the morning commute in Ottawa Tuesday one of the coldest this winter..........Several schools cancelled outdoor events."

It was a bit on the chilly side.

TO was a bugger too. I wonder if the place was deliberately designed as a collection of wind tunnels? Thank heavens for the PATH.

I believe it's part of the provincial government's long term plans to create 'Urban Wind Farms' in the heart of the city. Expect to see multiple wind turbines being erected along Front Street.

Good link Airseir. Brings out the 'Number nerd' in us all.

I used web weather statistic sites eg:

Kamloops where I live now
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/wea...ges/C02091.htm

and the nearest I could find to Lincoln UK where I used to live
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/wea...5.htm?GBXX0008

the main URL of the site is:
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/index.htm

but there are lots out there just try several to get a good mean dispertion of data and see for yourself.

I like Kamloops as one of the hottest summers in Canada - some of the mildest but not raining and not much snow in Canada, no fog or any of that rubbish - spring is here with skiing at Sun Peaks, Golf is openning in a couple of weeks and it is about 3 weeks to BBQ season.
