Winter: the time period from approx 25 September until as late as 15 June, during which precipitation in the form of snow may occur and accumulate.

While I have little sympathy for the Texans, and about the same for the Easterners, I do feel bad for the UK. Not sure why, but I just do. Do they own snowblowers over there?

We hit +4 C today. Things are looking up in Manitoba.

And here I am sitting in the frozen wastelands of the Canadian prairies and we've had a mild winter with only a couple of weeks of the really cold stuff and about a foot of snow total. Global warming must be fickle about where she strikes!! The last couple of days were almost to the plus 10 mark. I guess I'll just have to put up with it.

The temp at PET airport now is -1c. We are to get another 4cm of snow overnight and tomorrow. We haven’t broken the record for snowfall yet. So far Montreal has received 347cm. The record set in 1971 was 383cm. I was in grade nine when in March 1971 we got hit by over 30 inches in a two day period. The Army was called out for that one because tracked vehicles were the only things that could move. My school was closed for a week, so I had nothing to complain about.
