Cold. Snow. People wearing touqes and saying "Eh?", Some crime, AND WE DO NOT, CONTRARY TO STERYOTYPE, LIVE IN IGLOOS!! At least not most of us anyway    BTW, you Americans spell colour wrong. You forget the U.

P.S I love poutine. 

It's funny, I've lived in the US all my life and for some reason prefer the British spelling of colour. Perhaps one day I'll move there so I can finally use it....

Yes, the forum BBCode mocks us daily. I always want to use [colour] tags 

In my country, it's cold, and slippery. We've had snow recently, and to be honest, us British are a littl wimpy.

*It snows about 3mm on a school day*

"Kids, no school! Snow day!"

Snow days are my favourite days

Same, it's just that our teachers are pathetic. The minute one bit of snow drops, it comes over on local radio that school's closed...

My school never closes. I can hear all the names of the schools that get a day off, but our school is never mentioned

They always forget to mention us.
Once, I turned up at school in uniform and everything, only to find that the village is abandoned and the school is CLOSED. Major facepalm, that was. 

I've done that too. It's funny 'cause my brother was trying to tell my mum that there was no school and she told him to stop bieng silly XD

Lot's o' lakes and pine trees are the best
See that bald eagle, it's making a nest
When ice fishing, there's lots of times to rest.
You are a wolf.
The neighbor's own acres of corn
and cows graze the fields from noon til 'morn.
It's blazing with heat, we're smothered with frost
Weather changing at the clock, soon the warmth will be lost.
We're not a state, we're a nation at heart.
And our wonderful hockey, don't let me start!

Guess, aru.

I live in the USA! We use  different length, volume, and weight systems. I learned the metric system in school and I think it's much better than the American system.

I know! Inches and feet and miles don't seem to be based on anything.  5,280 feet to a mile?  Where'd they come up with that?  Meters actually have a reason for their length, and the increments for kilometers and such makes so much more sense.

America is silly.

I know. I'm American, and I think our customary measuring system is stupid. I a bit British, I spell gray grey 

Cold and grey. Rains most days.

America my friends, America.
Western Hemisphere.
English.
I start school early September.

I'm glad I have freedom, but us Americans are probably the least moralistic country. We say that the rest of the world is locked out from us, but we're really locked out of the world because of our obsession with technology.

That's all.

I live in Texas.

The food is great, there's a lot of pickup trucks, nice tourist attractions, bad heat in the summer, no snow, crazy drivers, lots of immigrants, tons of service men, and loads of political debate. Fun.

Hot - like 40 degrees ' even in rain!!! 

Put a 'Celsius' on the end of that. I only register Fahrenheit when I read temperature. 

Don't rub it in! 

It was -3 degrees celsius all day today. 

EDIT: I mean what militarydudes said about 40 oC being cold. Lol!!
