MAYBE, just maybe, some of that warm air is moving my way. I left the house this morning about 6:00 to go to a swap meet at Springfield, Mass. and it was -7F. At about the NY/Mass border it was -19 (and about where my truck's leather upholstery finally got warm - 50 miles). Now, in the midst of a heat wave - it's now about +12 with a minor snow storm headed this way.

The wind is blowing like crazy here, went along with a friend on a few wrecker calls today, 3 in the ditch, 1 upside down.... The one upside down was funny. The girl who was driving it (Thank God she wasn't injured) called a friend of hers and got a ride back to town last night after the accident....She didn't quite remember where she left her car upside down in the ditch at!!!! Her directions were only off by about 6 miles.... Hmmmmm. ya suppose there was possibly some alcohol involved????

It's winter in Canada
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
At thirty-five below.
Oh, how I love Canada
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Canada
I'm frozen to the friggin' ground!

Very kewl poem, Resto!!!!! Haven't been through a lot of Canada, around Winnipeg a bit, then a scooter ride from Winnipeg to Calgary which I thoroughly enjoyed... We did race sprint cars up there a few times, mostly just Thunder Bay.... But that was always in the summer....Hauled bean meal to and wheat out of Winnipeg a couple times in the winter and I gotta say it was always good to get back to the frozen tundra of South Dakota to warm up!!!!!!!

my wife's grand dad lived in Belmont Mannitoba. COLD!

Hey, if you're going to live where there's winter, you'd better have a sense of humour. Unlike the poem, my feet have thawed from the ground and I'm about to head south to Florida (Daytona) for a week to get break. Does anyone know if there is anything happening in the area I should be aware of?

I moved away from the Mn cold winters & frozon roads Well it stopped raining, (after about 2 months) after it got down to 29 over night, and covered the roads with ice! We went (tried to) the store , we are stuck, every way is down winding icy roads with 25 & 15 mph turns on dry roads! Then it started to snow, it snowed hard for 3 days straight!!! Heck! we didn't have to go anywhere! The 4th morning it stopped, by supper the yard was completly cleared, and today you can't tell it happened! Today it's 50 tomorrow it's going to be 60

I saw the snow plow truck for here, it's a camouflaged dodge pick-up with a sander insert & a blade. It can't get up or down some of the icy roads around here.

Welcome to the country!

Around here we see them using a pick-up for a hearse in funeral

Pat

Blizzarded here this pm highways were shut down for a while, going to be -43 c tomorrow am with the wind chill. Got both vehicles plugged in or they wont go tomorrow am.
UP SIDE took my snowmobile for a quick blast after supper it goes like heck on the cold days

GORE HEARING ON WARMING MAY BE PUT ON ICE
Mon Jan 26 2009 17:59:26 ET

Al Gore is scheduled before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday morning to once again testify on the 'urgent need' to combat global warming.

But Mother Nature seems ready to freeze the proceedings.

A 'Winter Storm Watch' has been posted for the nation's capitol and there is a potential for significant snow... sleet... or ice accumulations.

"I can't imagine the Democrats would want to showcase Mr. Gore and his new findings on global warming as a winter storm rages outside," a Republican lawmaker emailed the DRUDGE REPORT. "And if the ice really piles up, it will not be safe to travel."

A spokesman for Sen. John Kerry, who chairs the committee, was not immediately available to comment on contingency plans.

Global warming advocates have suggested this year's wild winter spells are proof of climate change.

(Those idiots just wont give up - 31 die in Mexico from the cold, 20 in Europe from avalanches from the heaviest snows in many years, an ice storm in Texas with Dallas at 34 and dropping to the 20s - CNN this morning. Does that sound like global warming or the effects of a warmer period coming? Doesn't to me!!)

Hey Dave get your shovel out, sounds like you guys might get dumped on with some more of that lovely white stuff!!!!!

A regular heat wave here today, dang near 20 degrees above already!!!!!

More hype then substance, only 6-10 inches predicted, but my little Harbor Freight engined MTD snow blower is sitting primed and ready ( I knew I should have put the 48" blower on the tractor as usual this year - but insanity prevailed)

Must be the same heat wave in SD that we are having as we are up to +22-23 deg after the past few days of -5 to + 15. It feels almost warm enough to take off the Woolriches.
