Southern Ontario, and as a top 5, I miss the thunderstorms, the easy access to nature and the beauty of its expansive landscapes, how quickly road work gets done (working at night? more than 1 hour a week? you’d think these guys don’t even have a union or something…) the privatized government registry system and the general efficiency and lack of bureaucracy, and the best damn drinking water in the world.
Might just be a local thing, but not really where I live. We see them off in the distance regularly, but like you said, mostly over the lakes and typically late in the evening or at night. Maybe it’s just a timing thing, or maybe it’s just the unobstructed horizon in Alberta, but I used to go out to Nose Hill in Calgary and watch huge storms what felt like every week or two. Here, I’ve enjoyed a few but subjectively feels like not nearly as many, nor as good a show.
Where are you now, and which things do you miss?

TIL a few things, thanks.
No storms in particular surprises me. Doesn’t stuff come off the lakes?

Steak. God damn I miss a good steak. Nova Scotia.
Interesting that nobody’s shipping it that far. Internal barriers maybe? I’ve definitely seen Alberta beef advertised in Vancouver.
