What's getting you through the winter?
Winter is here in all of its misery. It's going to be freezing and dark for the next 5-6 months. So, what are you doing in the spring/summer that you have to look forward to that will make this all worth it?
I'm going on a (kind of) cross country road trip.. Toronto to BC. I'm going to be camping the whole way and am SO excited to see mountains for the first time. Not to mention all the awesome fishing and scenery!

I live in Texas. There's no such thing as winter here. I finally got to turn my air conditioner off last week! Looks like I need to turn it back on again, though. :/

I hate the winter
i work outdoors year round,so I have no choice to deal with it,but since I have no choice but to deal with it,what I do is wearas little clothes as possible when I can..I'll work outside stay moving and busy and be in a t Shirt as low as 40-45 degrees..so mental focus is what gets me through as well as the OT cause it's nuts in the winter so this $$$$$ is what keeps me going

What's getting me through the winter is that it's NOT Florida, which is where I lived last year this time. I am so happy to be back in the cold. I am not a fan of places that stay hot year round. Not a fan of being cold all the time either, but what I love about living in a desert is the dramatic season change. Freezing cold winters, scorching hot summers.

I have made the trek from Southern Alberta, where I grew up, to Windsor ON numerous times as that is where I attended university. Are you planning on staying within the Canadian border the whole time? North Western Ontario from Thunder Bay to Kenora is beautiful countryside. In my opinion, there is not much to see in Manitoba and Saskatchewan if you stay on the Trans Canada, and Alberta isn't much different until you hit the majestic Rocky Mountains. Do you know what mountain pass you will be taking from AB to BC? Roger's Pass will take you from Calgary through Banff and Jasper national parks, very beautiful but quite heavy traffic. Crowsnest Pass is a few hours south of that and takes you from Pincher Creek, AB to Fernie, BC. If you take this pass I would suggest stopping at Waterton National Park and setting up camp there. Very beautiful with lots of hiking trails. Where in BC is your final destination?

Winter here hasn't been bad at all so far. A few cold days, very light snow fall. So far so good.
Will be looking at moving out of New England in the spring/summer if anyone has any suggestions to a place with decent weather and affordability I'd like to hear them. It's expensive living in NH
