A good old fashioned Canadian winter

canadian_atc · December 4th, 2007, 11:25

Looks like we might just have that White Christmas

A few minutes ago, the snow still expected to fall for the rest of the day...

CaptBdoubleU · December 4th, 2007, 11:30

Wow, and I thought Minneapolis was bad...

SmoothLanderJ · December 4th, 2007, 11:32

That's amazing........thanks but no thanks.....i'll keep enjoying my 70 degree florida temps.........

ILSstud · December 4th, 2007, 11:33

Meanwhile...back in FL I am enjoying our "cool" 70 deg and low humidity ;-)

SmoothLanderJ · December 4th, 2007, 11:34

...we were thinking that at the EXACT same time..........

I learned something. Next time I'm gonna put my wipers up off the windshield to help expedite in clearing off the car. Sweet!

Especially when there's freezing rain coming, keeps you from ripping the blades right out of the wiper!

ASpilot2be · December 4th, 2007, 15:52

Now I am home sick. I love that kind of weather, it is sooo much funner than the boring sunny weather.

canadian_atc · December 4th, 2007, 16:04

Yea, but it wears off after spending 2+ hours shovelling yours and the neighbors driveways.... and knowing you're gonna have to do it all over again tommorow.

If I were you, I'd get one of these:

From 2 hours to 2 minutes.

One of these would be better. Then the kids in the neighborhood would have a nice snow pile to play on

I'd take the current light snow, 19F over that hot stuff any day. Our two months of summer has enough of that.

Say what you want about the heat, I've never had to shovel it.

I do NOT miss the winters up north.

JaceTheAce · December 5th, 2007, 12:35

Those pictures remind me of when I lived in North Dakota!

JDE · December 6th, 2007, 01:01

It looks like I only love Canada in the summer...

Pacheco · December 6th, 2007, 16:22

cmsuav8r · December 8th, 2007, 13:25

I'd rather have all of that snow than the ice we are getting right now.
