Lots of snow is not a requirement, but being more snowbound in a small community gives people other things to do together when it's too cold /too windy or they don't participate alot in outdoor winter snowy sports.Originally Posted by SheFly
My aunt and uncle are AVID curlers. My parents also used to curl, and really liked it. Living in an area with lots of snow is not required, but living in an area with a curling rink is. Personally - I've never tried it...

My relatives all live in Canada.
For some reason, I have this stereotyped idea of curling is like golf a few decades ago...social oriented but under-rated as a sport.
No, haven't seen Men with Brooms but the male star, Paul Gross is a hottie.
'Yo, NWBY would not be surprised if Edmonton had a local tournament there. I know enough Edmontonian migrants who talked about the winters there. My partner worked north of Edmonton and saw northern lights.

We actually have a curling league in the free indoor ice rink in the next town over. It's never cold enough to ice over a pond here in the winter, but we have curling!
I do want to try it.
