I'm confused ?
Would that be Fahrenheit or Celsius ?   
Just kidding of course.
Sounds about right though.

You got Florida wrong.

Winter jacket? In Vancouver I don't even have one. I do wear a wind breaker just so I have some extra pockets at work, sometimes.

Oh, about car windows rolled down. I stopped putting my convertible top down in the winter, because the plastic rear window got too hard and brittle, and broke. Looking at selling that one, and buy a newer model with a glass rear window instead. 

My wife from the Philippines, still has me turn the AC on once in a while during our winter.

I get the humor, but it's good to note that Southern ON is south of a lot of the US and less snow, warmer than lots of ME/MA/NY/MI/MN/SD/ND/OH etc and a fair bit of British Columbia sees little to no snow.

I always feel sorry for my NY cousins who come up here for Christmas, leave behind mountains of snow and we're about 50/50 to have a white Christmas 

"Canada" is not Canada ..... it's a pretty big place

That's true because Floridians can freeze to death at room temperature.
