There are very good reasons WHY I choose to live north of the 45th parallel. One of the reasons is...because I like cooler temperatures.
Today, it is 80 degrees outside, and that is too hot for me, for just standing around, and installing things on the bike, or...(please forgive me) working on my new barn I am building for my critters. It is a RCA...raised center aisle barn, that is 48' x 30', and I am building 93.14159 % of it by myself.

So, the point of this thread is to ask all you folks that live south of the 45th parallel...please keep your hot temperatures down there in your neck '0 the woods.

I would be much happier if it was 50 degrees out, or...a light misty rain.

I agree completely. I am from New England and live in North Carolina, so you can imagine the disparity. So while I sit inside and ride out yet another tropical storm, I’ll day dream about moving back north some day.

Wingman, I was born in upper Maine...east of Caribou.

But there are a lot of places even in New England where the humidity can be relentless. Upper Maine is not bad, but places in Mass and Conn can be tough.

Interior is tough. I have 4 acres and a cabin in Stoneham Maine, and it gets pretty warm in the summer. Luckily I grew up on the coast in Newport RI, so I have been spoiled with reasonably cool summers with sea breezes.

After a few years in the Great White North you would be begging for warmer temps.
Our riding season is very short here. Starts mid April, gets a one week delay after a May snowstorm, monsoon season is the month of June. Then it warms up for July and August. And the fall chill sets in. Last ride of the year for me last year was October 19 th due to a major snowfall that didn't go away til April of this year.
But on the bright side we have no floods, earthquakes or hurricanes so there is always a bright side.

That's why there are so many Scots living in Canada, the weather is just like home
