canada right?

Yes

which part?

canada right?

Good guess, of course "canada" has the 2nd largest land area of all countries, so you can see how funny it is for us to have Americans just dismiss anything north of the 49th as "Canada". Bob and Doug Mackenzie sure had you guys pegged.

which part?

Ontario

Good guess,

nope.
just clicked her profile.

Ontario
cool (no punn intended)
saw a good doc about syberia, and how the rural people survive the -40 temps.
at that temp, the body slows down as lack of energy is the main problem.
the syberians eat a lot of fatty horse meat.

We almost had a green Christmas last year...and now we have two feet of snow.

What happened to all that lovely global warming we were promised?

I know it is colder here then usual at this time of year. They say this winter is supposed to be really bad.
Last yr you could go out on Christmas Day in a sweatshirt and there was no snow.

They say this winter is supposed to be really bad.
Who is 'they'...Environment Canada???

They cant predict anything beyond 24 hours.

Probably farmer's almanac. I walk outside and make my decision then.

It's 30 degrees Celcius where I am. (That's 86 Farenheit for all you Americans stuck with an outdated temperature scale.)

I'd love to move to Australia.

It's 30 degrees Celcius where I am.)
I'll bet its DRY air too...we dont get that privilege.

This is true!!! To be honest it must have been on the news or something, because everyone I bump into keeps telling me the same thing. :shrug:

I have always said I will beleive it when I see it.

About the same here. Only very humid and sticky.:(

I've just come in from a swim with the kids and they are still in the pool with their father.

today it was around 15C but its gone up as far as 25 in the last week. oh how i hate summer.

I've just come in from a swim with the kids and they are still in the pool with their father.

i went for a swim in the irrigation pond at lunch yesterday, most refreshing after 4 hours out in the sun.

-11c right now going down to -21 tonight. Minus single digits for the rest of the week except night when it goes to -20's. So things are warming up for the time being.

-1 C --feels like -2 (30f ---- feels like 22)

its very warm here i got the aircon on

It's about +10 C here now (the Netherlands).

its very warm here i got the aircon on

Toughen up Donna, Summer's barely started.

I was working outside today, I drank 6 litres of water ( only took one piss).

It's 17 F, with wind chill 3 F (-8 C, -16 C)

It's 17 F, with wind chill 3 F (-8 C, -16 C)

that's what its like here too. We got a foot of snow yesterday. Took the kids sledding. Running up the hill dragging a sled keeps ya warm.
That damn wind is the worst part.

15C and raining the first storms of the season.

It's raining here too :(

Forecast for Dallas tommorrow: Low of 15c, high of 25c...I love winter in N. Texas!

Just look..........

http://webcam.keywest.com/ 30C

68 Fahrenheit, sunny, and breezy. :)

-21 deg F. thats -29.44 C send more global warming.

-... send more global warming.

:D LOL

The past ten years in Minnesota, December has been the coldest month of the year more often than not. Before that, for a couple hundred years, it was January - especially the last two weeks of January.

And it has rained in January in Minnesota something like 11 years in a row now - formerly a striking, once per decade event.

It's cold in December again this year.

My own guess is that ground moisture has been less, in recent years, so that winter comes in dry and chills faster, but doesn't chill as far and starts recovering sooner after the Solstice due to the recent warming trend of winter nights.

20 F overnight, 33 f now.

its ~30f here, but it's supposed to be 70f (with thunderstorms) by this weekend :confused:

makes me want to go to Antarctica even more...its only 3 C here

its about 42 degrees here, and raining...ewe

its been raining last 2 days...but now its all snow

where are you draqon?

where are you draqon?

Michigan

Ahhh, Snow is awesome.

I hate winter!!! not only is it fuking cold here. It is really icy from the snowstorm we had a few days ago.

I had the shittiest day!! :( I got a call as soon as I got home from taking my 6 yr old to school. He slipped on the ice on the yard and cut his chin wide open. I spent 4 hrs in the emergency room....thank god they were able to glue it together. If he fools around and it opens though he will need stitches. (which I pray won't happen)

To make matters worse the house smells BURNT to hell. When the school called and scared the hell out of me that he was bleeding and needed stitches, I forgot that I put the stove on. Thank god I came home 15 mins later and didnt go straight to the hospital. The house was full of smoke and the pot burnt to hell. I am still trying to get the smell out from this morning.... :(

oh poor shorty ... can you rent a room in hotel for a day or so? While leaving the top windows open?

oh poor shorty ... can you rent a room in hotel for a day or so? While leaving the top windows open?

I have them open downstairs now. He is napping it was a rough day for him.
God it is gut wrenching when something happens to them. I so wanted to :bawl: to see him hurt and so scared of the hospital. But of course we must stay tough and convince them everything will be ok......He is so damn cute and he was trying to be so brave trying to hold back the tears poor little guy.

Shorty,
I did that and it is hell to get the smell out. They make basement deoderizers that absorb a lot of smell. That's what I used. Its what cleaning companies use. It works. How bad was it? I had ashes flying around.

My son broke his chin open in about the same way. We got him in right away. (small town hospitals rock!) They stuck the needle in the cut to numb it for stitches. Then a heart attack patient came in. Well, small town hospitals have fewer doctors, so they all went to him. An hr later they came back to my son. The numbing had worn off, so the needle went back in the wound. I wish they would have glued it.

I just feel sick to my stomache...it was bleeding a little bit....It doesn't look open though. I hope it doesn't come open I keep checking it like every 5 mins. He got really upset when he saw a bit of blood because he is terrified to go back for stitches. :( I really could care less about the smell right now as long as this glue does the trick.

Pharmacies sell skin glue (Dermabond). Go buy some and if his owie looks like its coming open, put some more in. Super glue works as well, but Dermabond is FDA approved for skin. Better than stitches.
oh, and a calm mom make s a calm kid. Its just a cut, not an amputation. Calm down, its gonna be fine.

Ow that's awful Shorty :(
Maybe keep him in the house for a few days. When it's cold outside he won't feel when it opens up while playing outside. I hope it heals well :)
I had that happen to me once as well, but it was in the swimming pool. I wanted to climb out of it but slipped and smacked my chin on the side of the pool. My chin split right open.

About the smell.. oh well.. if it's really unbearable you might want to get what Orleander suggested.

Anyhow, I gotta say I love winter though. But maybe that's because we get so little of it over here..
It's kind of special when it really snows or freezes here :)

That is what they used. But you can't buy that yourself here. I always look cool and calm on the outside, inside is another story.

Pennsylvania. 10F last night. Still have to feed the sheep though...

Yeah this has been one hell of a shitty week. I haven't slept since 7am yesterday morning. I couldn't sleep at all last night keeping an eye on him.

Currently it is 0 degrees C Windchill -4

23 degrees here.

In Michigan we have 30 degrees F.

-13 and an expected "crippling" (lol) snowstorm on it's way. We are supposed to get 40 cm of snow by tomorrow night.

Damn, now i am freaking out. Next week i am moving to the mountains. I will be living in the woods for awhile, so dont anyone try and contact me.

Thank you.

Our snowman was just knocking on the door, asking to be let inside to warm up.

Nova Scotia, Canada. You can imagine how cold it is.

It was so cold today, I could have cut glass with my nipples.

Ok step one is complete, now call the callgirl and get rid of all that flowerpower in your head.

I think the last time we had this type of storm, we got "White Juan".

"White Juan".

huh? :confused:

You know what, I actually do remember that now. My neighbour has family down east, and I remember her sending me pictures they took down there.
Yeah that was BAD! We haven't had it that bad up here yet. I hope we don't get the 40 cm they are predicting though. I hate shovelling that much snow.

Speaking of shovelling, I went door to door after the storm to make a quick buck. Turns out that Nova Scotians are the cheapest pricks in Canada.

LOL How do you know? Have you lived anywhere else in Canada?
A lot of my neighbours have snow blowers. I can't see spending the money
on the off chance we get a lot of snow. Some yrs it is next to nothing. This yr I think is going to be a different story though.

as soon as I saw u....:cool::p

Man that booze is hitting you hard LOL

oh why you saying that...its not like that...it comes from my heart :)

No, I've actually only seen NB, PEI, and NS for Canada. Considering how poor/crime-packed NS is, it's only natural that we're cheap. Have you ever been here? I recommend you don't visit.

When I was a kid we drove all the way across Canada. I have been from B.C.
to N.S. I don't remember it all that well. About 10 yrs ago I went Cape Breton Island. It was really nice scenery. I do remember driving past alot of shacks though, I assume ppls houses.

Its still snowing here. My son had his winter formal at school last night and they shut it down early because the roads were getting bad.

Strangely warm @ 0C
These last years the winter comes late and leaves later as well.
I myself prefer such less cold weather.

We are at about 75 F here but EGADS another cold front is heading our way

and it will get into the high 60'sF tonight! :p:cool:

Freezing rain here on Long Island. First we had snow a couple days ago which melted and refroze and then last night we had sleet. The driveway is a sheet of ice about an inch and a half thick.

Winter seems a bit more like those of my youth than usual, snow before Christmas, something we haven't had for quite a long time.

-23 very cold, blowing snow.

We got a shit load of snow! as promised.......
I really DO NOT want to go outside, it looks nasty.
It is still coming down and blowing all over the place.
It isn't supposed to stop till tonight! :mad:

got about an inch of snow yesterday, rained all night, today it never got above freezing. supposed to drop down to about 15 or so tonight.

its like snow everywhere
What does "like" in that context mean? As I understood it's "It's snow everywhere", so what's there to "like"?

Carbon fiber bike is made of material called carbon fiber (duhh :p) and this material is many times stronger than steel and many times lighter than steel.

That is pretty good. I don't think they do that here. I know they get a student pass and get cheaper bus tickets but they still have to pay.

For fuks sake it is snowing like crazy again :(

these are suggestions*

No...you should embrace the snow. Make a snowflake out of paper...fold it and use scissors. Go outside naked and than run back to a warm shower (improves blood circulation. Go and enjoy the beauty of snow. Curl into a pillow and feel the warmth of a house. Smell the scent of winter...

T-shirt weather in antarctica it would seem.

We shovel the driveway and the snowplow piles us back in when they go by. I thought it was funny to see a snow plow in the ditch about an hr ago.

The snow plow hasn't come yet. I am sure it will as we are getting ready for bed. :mad:

I am sure they are!!! At least we have a jeep, and it can pretty much get out of anything.

Well it is 10:30 pm and still no snow plow. I am guessing it will come in the middle of the night, and block everyone in when they need to go to work in the morning.

Same here shorty...its gone...silence...

I kinda feel bad for the people who shoveled the roads and sidewalks clean of the snow...the half a meter walls of snow surround the cleaned roads. Tomorrow it will most likely snow again

It is -25 bone chilling cold. We have alot of snow too.

It dropped down to 65 F Brrrrrr last nite! I even looked at my sweater for a

It is so cold in the mornings where I am - I went running 7 am this morning down by the river wye in the woods and it was soooo cold my eyes were streaming with water and I could barely breath through my nose - icey cold!

It is FUKING COLD!!! actually warming up a bit today.
The snow plow did block the driveway though. I love being woken up at

It isn't that we can't afford one, but we don't always get snow like this.
I can just think of better things to spend money on. I have big muscles!!!
I can do it :D

I have a 16 yr old son, so we don't need one.

yello. it's pretty cold, which sucks. Not too cold. It is around oh I don't know, it isn't freezing, but it gets pretty around there.

I sleep outside sometimes with a not so huge blanket so, I can understand that it isn't too cold yet.

You sleep outside? You must not live in Canada then.

We got our first freeze of the season this morning in Dallas...but the high temp was 65f/19c.

17 degrees over here in New Hampshire.

You lucky bastards........we are covered with snow and it is like -15 right now.

Nah, Florida.

But it is pretty cold still. You can feel the feet freezing even with the shoes on !! Not freezing, though. And yes, I do sleep outside, because my parents are total weirdos.

It isn't like living with a supportive, agreeable, family.
I now have my normal little long sleeve shirt off, thou. In my house with my mom singing ho ho ho ho ho ho... lol, as loud as she can, I swear. Windows are mildly frosty. Probably gonna get even colder... no telling. lol...
