It's s sunny and clear 20c right now...and even in the dead of winter it'll probably never get lower than -5.

Manitoba. Apparently this blew in from Minnestoa. It's heading East, I think. So no worries.

Yeah... I do hate you. My parents are retiring out to Qualicum or Parksville next year, so I may see about finding a new job out there. I hate winter too, and there's really no family left here when they leave.

Canadian weather: "Sorry."

Joking aside, that's a drastic change!

Nope. Metric all the way, dude. And such.

25 is in the 80's, I think. Now it's around freezing. Which is 32 for you backwards people.

Yeah, it's rain/snow for the rest of the weekend, then it's up to like +10 again next week. Long term says even warmer again after that, but who knows? Tyoically we don't get snow till mid October, then it doesn't usually stick around much till Halloween. November is when it's always below 0. Last winter was crazy though, next to no snow (we usually get a ton, being on the prairies) and quite warm. Still was -40 sometimes, but we sat out on the (south facing dark wood) deck (in coats) with coffee on Christmas.

I know here at least where I am in Ontario there is no snow. It is actually really nice out but on a related topic...

A lot of people don't have a snowy christmas. Is it weird to you guys not to have snow or at least weird to always see snow and winter being associated with christmas and have none.

Whereas in sunny old England... it couldn't decide whether to struggle with the sunshine or piss it down for the past few days...

This morning it was really foggy on my way to work, so I put the sidelights on in the car, then when I arrived I forgot to turn them off, came out after work to find the car completely dead, even the central locking wouldn't work, so I had to get the security guard to borrow a car and some jumpleads, and jumpstart her. Took ages as well.

Damn weather.

Do not tell the American Republicans or they will use this as "scientific proof that global warming is a liberal scam."

*sigh*

I am going to miss the polar ice caps when they are gone.

I live in north Alabama. If you could see it in your heart to persuade Mother Nature to send us some snow or even just cold weather this winter I'd be much obliged.

Last winter we were walking around in shorts in February, if I recall correctly. All the fruit trees blossomed early and then we lost the fruit thanks to a cold snap.

I'm in Ottawa and, though its grey and miserable, I'm seeing postive temperatures all week, mostly above 15. It might dip down to 1 degree (Celsius) on Sunday, but we aren't seeing god awful weather yet. But, uh, you live in Manitoba. That province has a well-earned reputation for snow.

That said, I'm in store for cold winters, scorching humid summers, and rain everywhere in between. :(

Yeah, at the price of constant rain.

Pretty sure that's just the prairies. It was maybe 18ish C in our nations capital, which I tend to regard as a very comfortable temperature. Windows open all day today :D
