NbyNW - Happy trails. You'll love Edmonton as a city. I lived there for 15 years. Fantastic bike trail system, low crime rate and very multicultural. I have been down here for 3 years now and things have changed but I'm happy to pass along info if you're looking for it. Remember to get a block heater installed in your car before winter hits.

it's something you plug into the wall that keeps the engine block from freezing in the winter. Or just makes it easier to start, since OIL gets thick at low temperature too.

Figured something like that. I really don't want to live somewhere where I have to worry about that! I don't even own an ice scraper!
Now, don't get me wrong...it is HOT still here. I do get weary this time of year. But I LOVE biking and wearing shorts most all "winter" long. Hey, I have often gone to the beach on X-mas eve!katluvr

ice scrapers are a lot cheaper than air conditioners.
