All nice, but we really dont need an early breakup this year.....

The boys need to make a bit of mooch, can't do that sinkin to the axles.....

Besides, for the first time in what, 30 years, we actually had enough snow to go sledding.....

- 30 to + 10 in a week is only good for the flu...

Rather hold at -10 till March

For those of us without garages, this nice weather means we can actually do something outside. Not that I actually do much. But I could.

You guys should go to Edmonton, wow, do they have a ton of snow. Must have snowed 2-3cm last night. On the flat ground I bet that there is 40-50cm of snow. The sidewalks look like tunnels and there almost no shoulders anywhere. It been awhile since I seen snow like that. On Monday, I have to drive to Kamloops, can't wait to see what at Rogers pass.

Not this time of year. It gets down in the 40's for a week or so at a time during the cold snaps...

It's why all the DANG Canadians are here!!!

I can imagine that, but don't think it's possible...
