You know you are beginning to become acclimatized to Canada's weather when you are getting the t-shirts out in anticipation of the temperature climbing to above -20! :blink:
Meanwhile bushfires are raging in my last place of residence (Melbourne). People think we were mad moving from Aus to Canada but I know which one I prefer.:thumbup:

By my birthday it should be about +28...not looking forward to it. The temperature that is. The birthday should be fun enough.

-29, heatwave officially over. It was a nice break but left things a bit icey.

-35, the struggle continues. Saw the snow in Van and Lower Mainland on the news, that won't last so enjoy it while you can.

I would actually welcome a few cm of snow today. It would provide a bit of traction.

Exactly my problem. I can happily trudge through 5 cm of the stuff but this is just icky and slippery

As Sheldon would point out "the roads are most slippery, when there's a thin coat of liquid that reduces the coefficient of friction to nearly zero, but not thick enough to introduces a new source of friction."
:p

Judging from the comment I'd go with Big Bang Theory :)

Quite. That rain we had a few days ago has created problems. I cleared the ice from my front yard yesterday, or most of it. The bits that were too thick, I roughened up. The road is another matter. It doesn't drain very well. Getting to the corner store yesterday afternoon was a nightmare. A sheet of ice the whole way. I buy beer in cans in winter. They don't break when you fall over.

Even the melt here has caused issues. A thin layer of snow on top of what must have been some frozen melt water caused me to do a fantastic windmill impression this morning

None the wiser. I'll chalk it down to someone on TV.

It's a TV sit-com program that is funny, for a change.
