Re: Brrrrrrr ......
I'm actually feeling much happier about it by my drive home today.......
-I parked all day in a heated underground car park, and drove home all warm and toasty. -I have heated seats in my car :thumbsup: - It had stopped snowing and the sun was shining, and everything looks real pretty! - I have 4 wheel drive and just had winter tires put on for the first time yesterday. - I have tomorrow off work! - where's the smug smiley when you need one? :sneaky::p:rofl: |
Re: Brrrrrrr ......
I'm just glad it's not me driving us to Calgary tomorrow night and my lovely boss is letting me finish an hour earlier than I should so we can take our time too:thumbsup:

Add a little wind and the wind chill values get ridiculous. We cope with it by dressing properly and exercising caution, especially when driving in the country - nearly every year we lose someone who gets stuck and leaves their car or who isn't equipped or prepared for winter survival. Even so, I'd rather go through that than all the freezing rain and snow they've had out east in the last 4 or 5 winters. The last time I had an overnight stay in Toronto all the cars had over an inch of ice on them. But the next night I landed in Regina and it was something like -35, -48 w/windchill and I knew I was home again. I wonder if that has anything to do with our labour shortage? Check saskjobs.ca . :-)

Re: Brrrrrrr ......
Ok so today was our first dump of snow this winter and although we didn't have much compared to our Albertan friends the roads were terrible. It was -5 at 6pm and we went on the main highway to go food shopping, wow it was like an ice rink and that was with 4 wheel drive and 4 brand new snow tires, i don't think we got above 40km/hr (of course plenty did) but the guy coming up alongside me as the highway climbs upwards got a shock when his truck (i assume it was just rear wheel drive) starts to slide the rear end about and next thing you know he was struggling to make the incline.

Re: Brrrrrrr ......
sounds nasty, spent today rowing a small boat out from Victoria harbour, around the coastline in bright sunshine, snow on the Olympic Mountains, but its so mild here during the day that I worked up enough of a sweat to sit and enjoy a cold beer outside the Canoe Bar when I returned to shore!!
Cheers!! |

to be honest, it all sounds much nicer than what we've having in London at the moment ... which is just ... boring!

At least you don't have to shovel it - or stand outside in minus 24 cold clearing a blanket of snow off your car before you can drive anywhere - that gets old pretty quick.

Re: Brrrrrrr ......
It is starting to get a bit chilly around here too. I think that next week I'll need a sweater or jacket when I go out.

Perhaps if you used your garage as it was intended and not for storage you wouldn't have to clear that blanket of snow. :p:D
