As far as the temps in Canada, Montreal can actually be hotter at times in the summer than NYC!
Yup that's exactly what I read somewhere, temperature, pH and metal content break it down to various degrees. Thanks for confirming that.

As for Montreal, yes, sometimes it does get quite hot here. I hope CarlD saw the humour in my last post, we don't really have fleece lined swimwear... yet!
