And just in case you are envying me, basking in the cool of the evening, the minus 14 is just what the thermometer shows. With the windchill it feels like minus 23. Wonderful, love it!

We had our first little blizzard last friday; the 401, the major freeway running just north of town, was closed for a while and our local snowplows were buzzing around for most of the night.

But Christmas without snow just isn't Christmas.

Oh yes it is, keep it over there PLEASE

Depending on where you are, a delicate blend of seal blubber and moose s**t, with a hint of rye whisky.

Our late PM, Pierre Eliot Trudeau said that Canada and the US had a wonderful trade agreement: Canada sent the US hockey players and cold fronts; and in return got baseball players and acid rain

More snow today, between 5 and 10 cm. Great ... I just love it.

Silly question maybe: If you guys do have a major snowfall, how many snowplows do you have to handle the mess? And how long does it take them to do it?

dont think this question applies to me

though I once saw snow on Mt. Diabalo a few years back , and think we average frost on about 3 nights per year

So a cheap plastic snow shovel from Wal Mart will probably do it

Back in New England they could clean the streets and open school the next day almost regardless of the amount of snow.

Down here in Virginia, we get a dusting or a bit of sleet and they call in the National Guard. And don't even think of getting into town if you happen to get behind Aunt Harriet or Grampa Joe. The people down here creep along perfectly cleared roads merely because there is snow on the SIDES of the road.
