We had a Ford Focus with integral heating elements in the windscreen

I had no idea those existed now. I can certainly see why you'd be glad you had 'em.

Funny: when I bough t the car, my dad kept warning me and warning me about the battery. He said the car should start right away even if it's -15 or -20C.

I don't think we get those temperatures here in the UK... and I have to admit I'm happy with that ;)

Oh, right; I forgot. Your weather is milder than Canada's.

Odd how the seasons work. Toronto at ~43.7 N latitude. London UK is at ~51.5 N, and it's milder than Toronto. Manchester UK is at ~53.5 N and it's milder than Toronto!

Winnipeg's ~50 N. As I write, it's slightly below 0F there.

We have the Gulf Stream to warm us up.

That'll do it.

Yes, it's a massive difference, despite the latitude.

We have friends in BC and Alberta and we're hoping to meet with them all this year. In the summer though... ;)

Yes, summer would be better - unless you see cold & snow as a bracing challenge...
