Depends on what part of Soviet Canuckistan they are from. Winnipeg has pretty nasty winters. Toronto... not so much these days. Something about 5 million beer drinking Canucks affecting the local climate.

It doesn't get to -40 C in Bacharach for 3-4 weeks of the year. Pussies.

Cool. This is my summer (or is that Sumer?) job next year: http://212.174.26.236/goksu/ The Göksu Archaeological Project is an archaeological survey located in a remote area of the Taurus Mountains of southern Turkey, between the modern cities of Mut and Karaman.
This year we stumbled over a 20 HA site - possibly a major Hittite centre.
