    is it a suitable filler topic as it is with us?

    Judging by American friends on Facebook, yes. Probably depends where you live though. If the weather is pretty predictable and unchanging for long periods, there’s not a lot of point.

    With our location on the edge of the continental shelf we have some of the most variable weather there is – making it a far more suitable topic for conversation :o)

    Canadians do, on the evidence of conversation about car insurance with someone in Nova Scotia earlier today.

    They don’t seem to. At least not where I work out here, but then it is in the desert. In fact whilst out cycling I get odd looks when I say “the weather has turned out nice” to other trail users.

    From my experience they didn’t in Dallas where it’s fairly static, they did in Denver (where it gets very snowy) but only about the snow.

    Was a fairly frequent topic of conversation when I lived in Missouri, generally around the humidity, the heat index, the tornado warning…

    Rivett, I think your mistake is the use of irony.

    Rivett made me laugh
    worked in the USA on and off and a lot of small (and big) talk is sport –
    basketball/baseball/football – read USA Today oh and hunting and fishing depending on the season and you are expected to know those

    If you live in the large flat area in the middle I would imagine it’s a fairly important topic, under the heading of ‘will the house still be here when we get back from the shopping trip/vacation/school run.’
