weather??

well Reece and Ciara have been out in the snow since 8.30... i think they know it aint going to last, my recycle bin seems to be coming in very handy...for making snow castles :rolleyes:
 
Well that didn't last long :rolleyes:

I let the kids play on the back ally at 00:00am cos I knew it would have all gone today.

It was weird stuff....me and Ginger challenged the neighbors to a snowball fight at about 00:30am, so there were 4 adults and 4 kids running riot on the back ally :D

the snow ( if ya can call it that ) actually looked more like someone had opened the bedroom window and emptied a bean bag in the garden.:D

That wouldn't be real snow, it would be ice pellets, sort of halfway between snow and freezing rain. (We Canadians are experts on snow.:D)Last weekend we had the biggest blizzard of the decade ...60cm of snow, gale force winds ... a real doozey. We are still digging out in Kingston. Thirty big plows owned by the city and a couple of hundred private plows (some guys put blades on their 4x4s and clean up parking lots and big driveways worked full time for two days to make the streets and the sidewalks passable. Now we are almost back to normal, and we have above zero weather for a couple of days which should put us in good shape for the next big one.
 
Seems like the next major snowfall will arrive on Friday and last thru Sunday ... bring it on!!!!!

Cold maybe, but "bloody freezing"! Bloody freezing is what Alberta and Saskatchewan went thro last week ... temps into the -50s with the wind chill factored in.:eek::eek::eek:

Hey, we're Canadian ... what else do we have to do this time of the year. I could brag about how we still dominate our national sport (hockey is a winter thing too), unlike a certain country who last won a world cup in 1966.:D:D:D

Join the other snowbirds and drive south to the Gulf coast , spend some Loonies in Mississippi and Alabama , every C$ spent with a local business helps with the local re-construction and keeps the multi-national chains out :D ;)

If the loonie gets any stronger we might just buy the Gulf coast:D
 
A nice pleasant weekend ... lots of wet snow on Saturday followed by a flash freeze that turned the roads into a rink. Sunday turned a little cool (-18) with a brisk breeze gusting up to flesh-freezing 65km/h. Like true Canadians, we in Kingston celebrated with FebFest, an outdoor event featuring skating, live bands, ice sculpting contest and a hockey game between ex NHL hockey greats like local lads Doug Gilmour and Kurt Muller, along with women's hockey star and Olympic gold medalist Jayna Hefford. And visting to sign autographs was Mr. Hockey Gordie Howe, four time Stanley Cup winner and Hall of Famer ... also known as Mr. Elbows for his physical type of play.

That's us ... when it gets brutaly cold, (or in Canadian, "brudal eh) go outside and enjoy it ...
 
Well what a gorgeous couple of days we have had.

Even though it hasn't been warm, its been really bright. BRING ON SUMMER, that's what I say.... I love summer, always gives you something to smile about.:D
 
I came out of hibernation yesterday.
I went on the coast bus - didn't get off in Cleveleys because it was 'full' - rode on to Fleetwood (less crowded) :D
 
Yes we have had a lovely few days.i took off to Windemere yesterday never seen it so busy in February and not a rain cloud in sight:)
