It went up to 13C (55F) today! It felt warmer than that.
Where did you get the idea that beer is sold by the pint in Canada? Most beer bottles hold 341 ml, which is 12 Imperial ounces. An Imperial pint is 20 Imperial ounces (~568 ml). A US pint is about 473 ml, 16 US ounces. You can often get an Imperial pint of draft beer in a bar or pub.If you folks use the metric system, then how come you sell your beer by the pint? I am confused. But then it is not hard for me to be that.

It's all sold in ml. Some stuff, like soft drinks has standardized to US sizes, but that actually happened since metrication. It says the volume in ml, but the size matches up to a US size, e.g., 355 ml soft drink can, which equals 12 US oz.
The US is our biggest trading partner...
Ah, I see. They would still call it a pint even if it was only close in metric. The Brits still use miles per hour, I think. We don't.I was watching a BBC import and the line was ....a pint of beer with my mates.
Sunny, mild and lovely

It is kinda funny. I buy food by the kilograms and weigh myself in pounds. I measure most stuff in metres and centimetres, but I measure myself in feet and inches.
We were awakened at 4 AM this morn by extreme thunder, lightening, hail, and nonstop rain, and it won't quit. Beagle HATES getting wet. A balmy 41° F. And oh goody, we get a repeat tomorrow.
Lots of flooding around here, thankfuly our basement is OK so far. We got up to 61°F , and the rain continued. 37° now. Snow tomorrow. Oh joy oh rapture.
Need a boat? Rubber Boots? Stay dry! Hugs!
