Do people in Canada live in igloo's? ?
More accurately "Do SOME people in Canada live in igloos?" the answer would be yes. The Inuit people in the far north have retained their knowledge of igloo making, and some will still use igloos as a way to protect themselves from the elements on a hunting or fishing trip. Likewise, there are adventure seekers here who like to do "snow camping". You go out on a hike in mid-winter, build an igloo and sleep in it during your adventure weekend of snowshoeing, ice fishing, and such. But the average Canadian does NOT live in an igloo. We have houses, apartments, condos, etc. Even way up north, wooden housing is placed on timbers on top of the frozen tundra or permafrost. They have electricity and even indoor plumbing!
Want to Know the Best US Cities with Cold Climates.?
Looking to move north to a climate that is comfortable for me most of the year. Can anyone tell me what cities/states have long winters in the 40 degree and under temps, and summer temps lower than 70? I love the cold, my health is better in the cold so I want to find a small town (under 2000 people) in the United States. List your city/town suggestions below and please include average temperatures for winter and for summer. Thanks!
Do Russian people like the cold weather?
It depends on the latitude. Russia has climate ranging from polar to subtropics.I would say that the people from the North of Russia definitely like cold weather more than Canadians or Minnesotans.We spend weekends and holidays outside whenever we can help itWe eat ice cream outside year around (compare that with Israel, where ice cream is only sold in the summer)We are nearly invincible on ice, even the old ladies. Natural ice skaters. (It’s all relative of course, my Mom had once slipped on ice and broke her leg, but she was more of an exception than the rule).Every neighborhood in the winter is criss-crossed with x-country ski tracks. Especially the parks. Lakes turn into skating rinks, parents pour water on hills everywhere to make ice for kids to slide from, makeshift hockey fields pop up everywhere.When there was a 10-year record cold winter and even car engines, once stopped, would not start up (consequently, Moscow suddenly became very quiet and clean, with everybody using public transportation), every lake or river in Moscow suddenly had a long line of people who wanted to go for a swim, with doctors and ambulances standing by. Top level politicians could not miss this PR opportunity and had to participate in this mass craze, in front of the cameras. This tradition is pre-Christian but has also acquired Christian meaning, something to do with baptism of Jesus.During the same 10 year record cold winter (-35 degrees), school became optional. Nevertheless, attendance was at 85%, even among first graders. Businesses worked as usual.We know hundreds of poems about winter; not one of them is sad. The fall is sad (except early fall), the winter is happy.
Is Canada too cold for Indians to live comfortably?
Here's a number for you to keep in mind: 1,165,145. That's how many people from India who currently reside in Canada, as of 2011. As of our last census, these people have not run away from Canada screaming, but in fact are suggesting that their families in India relocate as well. 3.55% of Canada's entire population is from India, and the province of BC has Canada's largest amount of people of Indian descent. (They make up 6.3% of BC's population.) Many of them are concentrated in the metro-Vancouver area, which is wise because it's the warmest part of Canada (the Victoria-Vancouver corridor). Here's the deal. According to the many immigrants I have had the pleasure of talking to (one of whom is my spouse), it takes you about three winters to get the hang of the climate here. I suspect that you (like most people) have a rather ill-informed view of Canada. It's good that you're asking questions, I think that's terrific! Hopefully we are helping you to better understand what it's really like.
Do Rat Terriers fare well in cold climates?
The dog should be fine in Canada. They are simply not an outdoor dog in cold climates as they don't have the coat, tail, etc to protect them from the cold. But many people have "frail" and short-haired dogs that do just fine in the north. you just won't expect them to go for long walks in January ;) What I'm saying is that it should not affect the dog's quality of life significantly. Unlike a spitz-type or a dog with a double coat, the Rat Terrier will probably only be able to go out for potty or a quick play time and then have to come back in. But since they are a small dog, they can be entertained just fine in doors. On the plus side, the dog won't be panting and overheating in the summer in Canada :D
Do Canadians live in igloos and have pet polar bears?
Oh yes, absolutely! @@
