We have a moderate climate here in southern Ontario. Winters are not
extremely cold. It very rarely gets down to 0 F. Most of the winter
bounces around the freezing point. I think I prefer to put on a sweater
and to wear gloves than to have high heat and humidity and to spend half
the year running from one air conditioned building or car to another.

Good meatloaf is a treat. It is one of the few things that I actually
enjoy leftovers of.
