Got up to 30C today and I felt it was way too hot. Helps put that in perspective.

I feel your pain . . .

I feel your pain . . . we received about a foot. Had to snowblow the driveway twice today and still couldn't get the car out onto the road. Maybe we'll get ploughed out by morning. Can't complain though. Snow is free fertilizer and if we get a slow melt replenishes the aquifers. Have to look on the bright side until we get to Nica in March.

just remeasured....

and it's up to 25" out there, and still coming down. reminds me of when I was a kid, all that snow and couldn't get out. I am staying warm and dry - so far. The winds are picking up, so the power could go out.

But I don't complain - I went without water for 4 months one year, and learned to appreciate rain and snow, as I have a dug well that needs the replenishment. I am looking forward to the day I never have to shovel snow, ever ever ever again!

Maybe I'll be trading this for something equally confounding down South, but at least I won't be cold. 30c sounds just right!

how cold is it

we only have 6 inches of fresh snow but it was -27C last nite.

2 more weeks and I can whine about the heat down there:)

I'll take the snow over the cold . . .

I'll take the snow over the cold . . . actually getting the snow on the ground seems to hve raised the temp up to -6º C. Feels positively spring like after the double-digit cold of a week ago. Really looking forward to blue sky and 30º on the positive side though.

say amen

it's zero out there now, with what looks like 27" on the ground. Can't see the steps out my porch, so there will be a lot of shoveling to do this morning. Usually it does warm up to snow, but not this time.

Gotta look on the bright side: We do have blue sky!

nice to know

someone who hates it as much asI do...we got around 15 inches and it appears to be winding down. Now I will admit, it looks pretty, and it's fun...for about an hour, then it's a freezing hell

ok...so I am in Montreal, we got about 30 cm of snow yesterday and it is -20 ( a balmy -40 with the windchill)..... Tell me WHY I live here??

I wish I had an answer for you . . .

Submitted by arlington on 15 February, 2007 - 10:40.

I wish I had an answer for you . . . I haven't been able to answer that question for myself. I blame it on birth and heritage. I wish north america had been divided east west and not this north south divide. I mean Vancouver has more in common with La than with Halifax anyway. And of course New Orleans and Quebec share a common-like culture ; )

it was a weird convergence of planets

that brought you to living there, and for any other tropics loving people stuck in snowbound hell, like me. I had this romantic notion back in the early 70's that living in New England would be just terrif! And a little hippie college threw a bunch of money at me to come study there. Then there was the husband, the house, the kid, the husband and I split, the kid grew up, and somewhere in there I discovered there were fantastic places around the globe that are a heck a lot warmer and more interesting than here. Like Nicaragua.

It's what keeps me going - that carrot at the end of the stick.
