Mike, John, eh! I am from Montreal.
I went back 8 years ago during winter, and I have to agree. You can dress for the cold, but the dryness of the air is really hard on the lungs, and skin, after living for so long in the tropics.
The weather dropped to 17C here today. I'm freezing. I have long pants, wool socks, a big sweater and a hat!
But I will be strong! Ha ha.
I hope I can ski a bit when I get back home. I was a ski instructor for 17 years, and I miss the feeling of my boards on the snow. But I don't miss having to dress up to handle the cold winter air!
