You stole my line ... ;-) Although I would have said "the Poly" :-)

Back on topic, it's still a tad chilly out here :-( unconfirmed reports tonight claim bus loads of brass monkeys have been sighted heading West ...

-27 and going to drop a few more degrees; I should sneak out and plug the van in just to make things a bit easier come 5:30 - 6:00.

Officially plus 6 up around here today, equaling the record high for this date set in 1984.

Plus 11 in the sun on my deck this afternoon. This Canadian winter lark is a piece of piss.

Appears we just missed the record high for yesterday, but still warm, 10.3 according to environment Canada.

I had my windows open most of the day, I am really actually loving this non-winter of a winter we are having so far.

Monday to be a bit cooler at only 8 or 9.

BC isn't as bad as many make it sound, yes it rains, but we get nice winters for the most part, some winters are snowy and colder then others, but nothing like the rest of the country.

Then you have a winter like this year, that has been spring like, and not even much rain, lots of sun this winter compared to some.
