The Edmonton located in the Canadian province of Alberta?
If that's the place, he calls home about a thousand miles northeast of Seattle. (Well, maybe not a thousand but I'm probably not too far off!) I think it's due north of Calgary.
BRRRRR! Maybe hot there now, but winter sounds rough!

Hi All,
Edmonton is located in Canada about 750 kilometers north of the USA/Canada border. That's actually only about 1/3 of the way to Alaska.
Anyways, we just finished bringing in a large hay crop from a quarter section of land this weekend. A perfect sunny weather weekend including a gentle breeze came with it too! It's now raining pretty hard in our region, so we are all very thankful the haying worked out so well.
Our daylight here is quite long in the summer time with sunset at about 10:30 p.m. This changes faster by about the end of July as we lose light approximately 10 minutes earlier each week.
38 Celsius is about 100.5 Fahrenheit. Very hot for this far north!

Hi John,
Your long daylight hours reminds me of a comment from one of the gals I worked with back in the late 1960's -- Michigan was voting on the adopting "Day Light Saving Time" and her comment was "I'm voting no -- that extra sunshine is going to burn up my lawn"!!
