I love how Canadians don’t acknowledge it’s “chilly” until it is well below zero F. Growing up in northern Wisconsin I never got the ‘long-johns’ on until below zero, either.
Your picture of the snowbound train reminds me of the White Pass & Yukon railroad from Skagway. Each spring they must clear the line of ‘Canadian Concrete’.
