ive been through both Toronto and Sask Winters...and sask takes the cake.
ON TOPIC...
i guess you could give it a try, if it doesnt work, its not like she lives in your neighbourhood, and you might get caught in those akward "bump into each-other" moments...
thats my biggest fear, having a bad break up and running into the person later...here in Saskatoon, there is a BIG chance in that...

OFF TOPIC:
I agree the winter sucks more in SK, I don't know why anyone would live there.
But, from an automotive standpoint it sucks here more. Commuting here is a huge personal and material (car) risk anytime of year and winter just makes it worse. I've lost track of the number of flaming wrecks I've seen on the QEW over the years. I'm sure everyone here has one or more stories of their own too.
The wear and tear on the vehicles is many times worse as well due to salt, stop and go traffic plus the shear distance people commute too. I mean there are people driving the equivalent of Regina to Saskatoon daily, I used to be one of them.

I was going to pull over and help but there were already 8 or 9 vehicles pulled over and cops on the way. The flames were litteraly at least 70-80 feet high. I could feel the heat with the windows down and i was like 60-70+ feet away, it was freaking hot! Then i thought, what if this thing explodes? and i stomped opn the gas and of i was :ph34r:FociPhil,Sep 21 2005, 10:39 AM Wrote:ive been through both Toronto and Sask Winters...and sask takes the cake.

2001ZTS...very valid points.
Plus its not as damp here in the cold, its a dry cold. ANd yes they dont use nearly as much or any salt on the roads.
The only s**t part here about all this, is if 1 person messes up on the road. (circle drive, one highway that goes around the entire city) then the entire city is FUBAR. Where as Toronto to can detour around it.
