Curbed published an article this week called, Why U.S. cities should stop whining and embrace winter . It is about Canada and how we allegedly embrace winter, which is arguably true, except I think there’s still a healthy dose of whining combined with trips to the south.
I went ice skating a few weeks ago along the waterfront here in Toronto. It was a cold night and we debated whether we should skate or do something indoors involving Niagara’s finest red wines. We opted for skating and weren’t cold at all. It was great.
I was reminded of this when I read the line: “ The purpose is to get you skating. If you are skating, you are warm. ” It is a good reminder that one of the keys to a successful winter space is physical activity. That and hot tubs .
