works like a charm

It's effin cold here but we still don't have any snow. It's the weirdest thing. It snowed on the weekend before Halloween then it turned to autumn again and we've been having the mildest December that anyone can remember. It's just not right. I want to go sledding dammit!!

I think there have been bits of snow here and there but never while I'm around, which is the way I prefer it.

Really? I'd always thought Canada was ridiculously cold, but maybe I can put Calgary back on the list of places I'm willing to travel to...

Nope, just certain places certain times of year... and by "certain" I mean "most"!

Vancouver just gets rainy in the winter, kinda cold, freezes sometimes - Victoria is an amazing micro climate that just has even more flowers all winter. Calgary is kind of a freak place for winter with short runs of medium cold, then barely cold, then really cold, then medium, fairly warm.

Our summers are pretty hot as well, usually only between 15 and 25 degrees, but it gets up to properly scorching sometimes.

Freak place, huh?

Freak, the storm is starting to move in and things are going to be interesting the rest of the day. Here is a link to the local webcam so ya'll can watch the snow develop.

One room of my house burns under a bright near-equatorial sun, while another is permanently cool. And I live in an apartment!

What?

This storm actually produced, over a foot since last night and it is still snowing.


Freak, here are some pics for your young in's.





Rob

Wow! And I PAID to see snow last weekend

Over here it's the same as the entire year ... to warm, to cold, to wet or to dry. Not one single month has been close to its normal range this year.

Pushing eighteen inches now. A buddy posted a pic with a measuring stick showing two feet of accumulation.

We have some snow we can sell you, I'm pretty sure I've seen some around... we're open to trades for palm trees and cacti.

I'm wearing a kilt! Good thing I have a built in heater

Rob

Still having that flatulence problem, huh?

It's been raining here for like 40 days and 40 nights an the temperature has dropped.

I may have to put on pants today.

Christmas morning hike

Better to run from a pissed off husband with your kilt oop than with trousers 'round your ankles
