Ok, as Ive stated before, Im from Texas, where I have no idea what cold weather is *laugh*

Im going to Toronto next month, (mid-March, around the 15th) and Im wondering if I need to bring a heavier coat than the one I have already.

So, for those of you who know, whats the weather like during this time? I dont want to end up freezing my duff off because I packed the wrong coat.

Thx in advance,

To be honest... I've lived here my whole life and I can tell you that no matter what coat you bring it'll be wrong... it can either be 10+ Celcius or -10... sometimes in the same day It is spring sort of.... if I were you I'd bring a heavier coat (with a removable liner if possible) Better to plan for cold and have it be warm than freeze your ass off! P.S let me know when you're in town we should make it a Tpunk Meetup.. I'm sure CD will be in also!

I'd say bring the coat with a removeable liner too.Are winter's get a little crazy and no one can call them.Better to be safe than sorry.

The month of March is an unpredictable month, we have been dealing with a snow storm for the last couple of days, and a parka would be very handy, next week it could be sunny and warm..its hard to tell. I would bring a warm coat just to be on the safe side.

A little tip if you are staying with family here or you have friends you will be staying with, send you warm coat through the post so you do not have to lug it with you and take up your luggage space, then mail it back to your self when your done. I did that when I went to Newfoundland and it worked pretty well.
