Comparing UK Weather to Canada
 
Hi

I could spend all day looking at pictures of Canada whatever the weather and thought i'd share this with those who may be a little bit unsure about whether to leave UK for Canada. I know who'd win my vote. Take a look
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/7286483.stm then look at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/7287104.stm

Hope that works

Actually the canada pics are the wrong ones, i meant to send better than that brb

yeah that's because they're hiding from their parents who want them to help dig out the car;)

Friday our snow had nearly all gone from the garden, put up a basketball net and pottered around tidying garden up. Saturday it snowed and it is all white again, 4" of it, and here Sunday morning at Bragg Creek it is snowing again. OH said he is getting a bit fed up with it now, but daughter and I said it is better than a wet day in the UK :)

actually it is rather more than 'a bit' isnt it? lol....U got to admit pics of the snow do look rather nicer than wet and windy weather and grey skies (she says remembering that awful snow storm she was caught up in Quebec early 1990's) :eek:
...well its nice to look at from here :)

Looks pretty but not to live in it for approx 6 months of the year. If only I knew I would be inside soooooo much when living in Canada!! Cannot really compare the pictures of the snow with the one off (well not too often sea storms) in the UK. Just had a Canadian friend arrive in the UK could not believe flying in to see the green stuff, that really hit home!!:ohmy: But I still luv Canada:thumbup:
