No one mentioned it would be sticky



When we were thinking of moving to Montreal, everyone warned us about the cold, cold winters. I remember one girl in one of my classes telling me that her eyelashes actually had icicles, and her runny nose freezing up. But no one ever told us about the hot, sticky summers. The weather forecast each day only tells me about 29 - 30 degrees but seeing I never look at the humidity I'm always taken aback to how sweaty I am riding my bixi to and from work.

Its almost like a subtropical climate, in that its so sticky and muggy. Each day at my work, the alarm at the front door goes off cause the pressure in the air is low in Montreal. Each day I sweat a bucket load. Its not pretty. I like the summers, but i definitely prefer the dry heat. It doesn't help that our house at the moment has a black leather chair.
