Everybody talks about the weather...

Post Secret has been snowed out. Alas. While I'm a little sorry for the eastern seaboard, I'm also grateful that someone else is getting hit with it this year. I enjoy those dry sidewalks, thank you very much. I like being able to bike, I'm happy I don't have to wear my pinchy new boots, I'm relieved that my dodgy shoulder and back muscles aren't shovelling 8-10 cm of snow every three days, and I resent the 3cm/ inch and change we're in for on Wednesday.

Because a lot of last Wednesday's 2 cm is still lying about and turning into ice in front of the houses of people who expect God to clear their walks for them.

*HUGS* - If I could I'd send even a blast of our cool-ish 30 degrees!

Hope it warms up sometime this year for you.

Err- thank you, I shall take the 30 degrees for the deed. (30 is when extreme heat alerts are called here.)

I have no objection to the -8 cold: dry invigorating stuff. It's the snow I object to so strongly.

\o/ srsly, yes.

I could do without the -25 windchill, but so so happy not to be commuting to Richmond Hill through the massive snowbanks we had last year.

The windchill is worse down by the canyons where you live. Yesterday was rather calm (=only one pair of gloves) up here.

See, this is the problem: too broad a range. Places that get 5ft of snow should never have to deal with temps over 30C. And places like us, where 30C in summer is pleasant and the humidex regularly clocks in at 50C, should never, ever be drowning in snow.

Global weather change, not global warming. IOW, different from what it was.
