I know a guy that lives in Sudbury. Another one of my friends lives in Nelson, BC.

The temperature in December has been crazy this year all over North America.

I walked a sidewalk that was perfectly snowblown. Please show some plow,snowblower action pics.

I could show you some tracks of a snow blower in the driveway but I like my squirrel better. We have more snow in December than all of last winter.

She likes the unsalted peanuts.

I'm not sure but I think this may be Spud. I hear it's getting a tad cold up there.

It usually just pours rain here, but we actually got snow last week that stuck around. No precip this week at all, and it got down to about 20F last night. That's not really cold at all, until you throw some humidity in. It is then an unshakable cold. I grew up in the Prairies and have experienced -40 temps, but at least you could come in and warm up.

OK, that hurts my feelings! I feel highly offended and unprivileged. And don't even get me started about my winter-related heritage, which is even more offended...

P.S. Just in case - :D:D:D:D

Pete it's summer where you live... Don't get me going on counter clock wise toilet flushing. :hehe:

-16F in wondrous Granite Falls, MN last night. About -5 this morning. My last day on this job for the week, so heading home tomorrow in a winter storm warning. The eight hour drive appears to be closer to twelve.

We will be going to Minnesota next week for Christmas. I don't look forward to the cold. Southern Kansas is generally not too bad even though we are predicted some single digits mornings this week.

I've just been working....and had some very close friends do this for me a couple weeks ago. I feel very blessed.

Other than that, we got the Christmas décor all up and Mrs. 2LZ is happy that I'm "in the spirit" for a change. I even got involved! I'm usually a horrible Scrooge this time of year. I know that there are differing views on this holiday here but this year, it's all about what the Mrs. wants. Happy wife, happy life, right? ;-)

What a great thread, and what great friends. Nice pics too.

Thanks for the link!

LMAO!!

Every place has good and bad weather. We may want to check in with our Gulf Coast friends in July.

I think the only real solution is to live in coastal Southern California (which has some serious problems also, just great weather) or to snowbird.

Personally I'd like to spend summers here in the PNW and winters in Scottsdale. I have researched job opportunities there recently.

Extra credit for that one 2LZ!

My gripe every year in Yuma--it is quite chilly on my morning commute; the past few weeks in the low 40's (Faranheit) down this way. Worse, since we don't change our clocks ('Arizona Time') it is dark; middle of the night dark. Going home in the afternoon is what you guys would be jealous of, however.

That being said--for 6 months of the year, it is HOT on my afternoon commute--110+ (Faranheit) daily for 6 months. Mornings are in the 80s and light out, so I guess I can gripe about it year round due to the extremes I encounter.
