I guess this says it all:

Alerts for: Kingston - Prince Edward - Environment Canada

Re: weather??
 

Looks like we are in for daytime highs in the -30 to -40 range ... "Normal" is around -3. Time to bundle up and/or keep the rum handy.:D

Re: weather??
 

and make sure the critters are indoors.

Re: weather??
 

Not worried about mine ... but there's a large feral cat colony in the 'hood, and maybe a couple of strays. I can see their footprints around the cat food I put out. And all of us around here honk their horns before starting their vehicles just in case some animal is taking shelter under the hood.

Re: weather??
 

I hope they have found somewhere warm and are holing up till the temp comes up a bit.

Re: weather??
 

Some of them want to go outside:

Well we did it! Went thru the whole month of February without the temperature's going above zero:alright::hothothot The coldest Fevrier on record for Kingston. And it's still not warming up. Good news is, it might reach +1 on Wednesday ... bad news: a storm coming in tonite and tomorrow. The only thing worse than the weather? The Toronto Maple Laughs.:D

Re: weather??
 

Rejoice! Yesterday, for the first time in a month and a half, the temp shot above zero:alright: It made it all the way up to 1c. :D Back down to -10 today. But spring is coming.:D

Just the one duckdown duvet then :D

Wednesday was a glorious treat for us here in southern Ontario. As Eric says we revelled in above zero temps for a day. The night chilled down dramatically though to minus 20. I was awakened by several very loud booming noises. It was my roof rafters reacting to the sudden temperature change.

Re: weather??
 

Eric, whatever makes you want to live in a country with weather like that.:confused:

Re: weather??
 

Anyone else here hate hot weather . I hate summer with a passion : the same since being a kid. I love October onwards !

Re: weather??
 

Exactly what I say when I read of temps down there going up into the 40s;) And it ain't all that bad really. Today it's -10; but it will rise to 0c. And as you well know, living in the colonies ain't just about the weather. Like you, I probably wouldn't want to live (as opposed to "visit") anywhere other than where I am right now.

And both Canada and Australia rank in the top ten "Happiest Countries in the World." ... If it weren't for the weather, we would be ecstatic ... :D And that might get uncomfortable after a while.

What a beautiful morning! Sunny, clear, and 4 degrees ... that's on the plus side;) Had my morning Timmy's on my back deck ... laced, liberally, with some rum my buddy brought back from Cuba, (nothing like an early start:cool:) along with a whole bunch of Montecristos:alright: I might even bbq today as it looks as if it will hit double digits. What to eat? Bambi burgers sound good ... maybe a lake trout. Whatever, it's great to sit outside watching the squirrels bark at my dog ... maybe I should tell them she's deaf.:D
