Survey Looks At Why Many Canadians Dislike Winter

A recent survey found that many Canadians hate winter, but they do like snow days.

The survey by Tripcentral.ca asked twenty questions about what Canadians hate most about this time of year.

Fifty-five per cent said the cold was the worst part, while 25 per cent said the snow.

Ice, driving conditions and scraping the windshield were also mentioned.

Over 50 per cent said they agree with snow days, because they are good for safety and getting motorists off the roads while 21 per cent said they were lame .and commented “It’s winter in Canada, get over it.”

Fifty-three per cent say their mind will drift to a warm sunny vacation while experiencing the most hated aspects of winter, mostly because of memories of past trips.

Browsing travel sites is popular while being “snowed in”.  According to the survey, women do it more than men.
