Sure, it’s chilly. But cold? Come on.

Maybe I’m just a little more conditioned for such climates, originally being from a city (which shall remain nameless due to it’s general disdain by all other Canadians… even though you all loved our baseball team this year) which consistently boasts temperatures that are disputably colder than the surface of Mars.

But hey, I get it, you want to stay warm while you cruise around with the tops down on your convertibles in the middle of December, and while your designer scarfs may look great, they’re regretably not delicious… or even edible. 

“Where, oh where does one find a decent hot chocolate in this neighbourhood?” I hear you cry out in agony.

Fear not west coasters, I’ve got you covered.
