Shivering friends pretend to enjoy nine-degree patio
TORONTO, ON—Spring is taking its time getting sprung, but Canadians are nevertheless desperate to take advantage, treating it like summer weather in the wake of winter's wrath.
We caught up with Julianna Myers, 25, and a group of her friends, enjoying a frigid patio brunch.

"You have to appreciate the nice days when they come!" Myers says, visibly shaking from excitement, probably. "The way the weather has been, it could snow again tomorrow. Who knows?"
With the day off work, the group of friends isn't afraid to indulge in some early libations. Stephen Morrow, 26, grips a frosty pint.
"The glass wasn't frosty when they brought it out here, but it is now," he laughs, teeth chattering violently off the glass as he sips.
As they await their food, the group huddles closer together because they are such good friends and for no other reason.
The food eventually arrives, a standard selection of brunch fare. Kristen Mills, 24, cuts into her eggs benedict and the yolk jogs out.
"Oh, look at that. The yolk is just immediately congealing into a gloop," Mills notices. "That's fine. I like my yolk... gloopy. It's like egg pudding. Yum!"
After a stretch, the waiter pops out to see if anyone is interested in seeing the dessert menu.
The table's fourth member, David Barnes, 25, speaks for all.
"No!" he blurts out suddenly. "...thank you, but we'll just take the bill."
Everyone breathes a visible-in-the-air sigh of relief.
