Dogmatic Canadians

‎It's the start of the Victoria day long weekend here in canada (except quebec , who have to be contrary but conveniently have their own holiday that just happens to coincide) , which is considered the unofficial start of summer and time to start camping. So, despite the temperature being in single figures with frost forecast overnight, suddenly the campsite that we have had to ourselves for the past 4 weeks is heaving, and everyone else is sitting around their fire pits in coats, fleeces, hats and gloves. Haven't seen anyone wearing shorts yet, but wouldn't surprise me.

Almost as bad as my old man's annual insistence on starting the BBQ season at easter, even if it meant standing there in the snow holding the tongs. Not that I haven't ruled out ‎the possibility of seeing more snow this spring, given how cold and wet it's been so far
