Ah, you guys up in Canada are missing out. It was 101 F (38 C) here in Arizona yesterday.

I wish we had more high temperatures. Today it was about 40 degrees Fahrenheit (About 4.5 degrees Celsius, I think) and it was pouring rain. Not good walking home from school weather.

Where do you live? and is it close to Edmonton? Should I be worried?
Manitoba. Apparently this blew in from Minnestoa. It's heading East, I think. So no worries.

It's s sunny and clear 20c right now...and even in the dead of winter it'll probably never get lower than -5.
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.
You might as well hate me too. I live in Minnesota. I hope your enjoying your gift

Ohh, it gets cold and you start complaining, you sure your Canadian?
Better yet, I'm making a new category for Canadians in the winter. Real Canadian's who don't complain, and wussie Canadian's who complain cause it's cold out and that they have to clear the snow off their car than drive it.
It's your peoples fault the title of "the winter people" went to the Russians. It's you people who are probably in on the global warming conspiracy. And it's your peoples fault hockey has become some overbearing mothers run sport.

Well I say take off ya hoser. Don Cherry and I are mad as hell and we won't stand for any of this anymore!


This is a joking rant btw. Though there is some truth in it I'll admit.

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?
You trust the Weather Network? After living in Winnipeg for 18 years I've eventually come to a slight disagreement with their forecasts.

When I looked out the window this morning I saw the same thing... I was disappointed to say the least, and I JUST got my bike back from the shop! *Begins crying into shirt*

Yeah, at the price of constant rain.
As someone who also lives on southern Vancouver Island I can assure you that we really don't get that much rain here... at least not in Victoria. Being on the tip of an island whatever weather comes by tends to just keep on moving.

Moving on until it gets stuck against the mountains in Vancouver that is. The rain stereotype is pretty much true where Vancouver is concerned. The joke is: it only rains twice a year in Vancouver, once for 4 months... and once for 8 months.

Ugh. I'd rather have -40c than +40c, thanks. Hot as balls does not begin to cover it.

Thank god for winter! Sorry, summer hater here.

Looking forward to no bugs, no sitting next to people on the bus who sweat on me(ew!) and no bloody humidity!

I can deal with the snow shoveling and cold. It's just not as bad to me.

EDIT: Ottawa Ontario - weather's been fluctuating between 5 and 25C lately.

Hope I have time to get skiing this year, been a while since I've brought out my snowblades.

Yay, another Winnipegger. Don't see many of us here. I drive to work now (moved out to Transcona because it's cheap, but no buses), and found out my driver's side mirror that was knocked off in spring and replaced isn't defrosting. Was a fun drive.

Usually I'd agree with you. It's expected here. But it was 25 a few days ago and we woke up to snow and sleet all day. It's still sleeting. Overall shitty day. Come January and -25 or worse daily, we're pretty much resigned to it and in February we start enjoying it again during the bonspiel thaw.

I agree Canada does indeed suck. Didn't bother to read why you said it sucks because it just does. :3

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.
Coming from a guy who lives in Edmonton. I would find the lack of snow wierd. I'd also love it if there were no snow. You know, for traveling convenience.

I remember back when I was a kid growing up near Toronto (back in the mid 90s... wait... holy shit, that was nearly 20 years ago. Fuuuuuuuuuuuudge.), we had snow every christmas. I remember this because we would play with our new toys in our massive snow forts. I have distinct christmas day memories of this. In recent times though, (2001+ I'd say), I can't recall seeing a white christmas. You'll sometimes get some snow in December, but never enough to stick... Until January.

I'm out in Calgary now though... Lots of Snow.

So buy a six'er of donuts and a double-double down at Timmy Ho-Ho's and stop complainin' aboot it. Where're y'frum, south o'the border? Would y'feel warmer with a layer of smog o'erhead and a hot crack pipe to rub yer hands on? Maybe if y'spend a few years in an equatorial prison fer trying to spike a transgender underage prostitute's Kool-Aid with liquor made from fermented rattlesnake semen and ye'r desperately trying to find a doctor who speaks enough English to know y'don't want yer silly-putty nutsack amputated when they go to cure yer flying ball rot, you'll learn to appreciate a wee nip of the cold stuff and stop pissing all over yourself like a scared goddamn dog, y'daft whiner!

AND YES I'M SPEAKIN' FROM EXPERIENCE!
