We finally got some hear today. Only an inch or two, but it's a start to the winter anyway. We may get a bunch more this weekend, but those weather people still don't seem to be sure how much it is going to dump on us.

the weather has been CRRRAAAAZY all across Canada the past two weeks or so. We went from -54 Celcius to +2 Celcius in a matter of 2 days. Thankfully the +2 came with freezing rain so now that it's cooled off to a more normal -20 Celcius, everything is like a skating rink. I'm still waiting for the live view of a good fender-bender outside the office window, maybe now!

Normal?!? For God's sake man, save yourself!
Just kidding. I am constantly inspired by the diversity of our world and its people.

Tom,
a few of us from work were laughing about that the other day, how a week of -50 C makes even -30 C seem like a heat wave. Some days it just makes you ask, "what in god's name am I doing here?!?" Of course, if I were to move someplace warmer, their certain lack of hockey & curling would be infinitely more depressing!

Hmmmm - be warm and give up hockey & curling or freeze my butt off so I can keep hockey & curling.
What to do?, what to do?, what to do?

I just blow out 4 inches. More is on the way, combined with a blizzard which will last through the night. That means I will be blowing another foot in the morning. I know Peter and Ray will have something to say about my use of the b-word. And I promised I would never use it again. DARN!

When blowing becomes a chore, you know something's not right.

I was about to post "hey, it was -29C this morning" but somehow that doesn't seem so cold after reading the rest of this thread. Oh well...
