Went water skiing here today.


No joke. It hasn't been cold for more than a day or two so far.



Ok, I was joking about the water skiing.

We have a goodly amount of snow here, but unlike the last couple of years it hasn't come down in a big, nasty, unmanageable dump - yet...  Once that happens the front of our house is rather hard to keep shovelled out.

So, yes, it feels pretty darned wintery here!

Driving out West of Edmonton today, looking at the farmer's fields, thinking how sparse the snow is.

We've got more northwest of the city, and at higher elevations, but still not that much.

The past couple of weeks' mild temps have pretty much flattened all the snow we got in November.

Merry Christmas, to you and all on ST.N.

Little dribble of snow a couple of weeks ago... Just enough to make all the nutters drive crazy and fall off roads. Then it all melted away and we've had nothing but rain since.
Did the horrible thing this afternoon and washed the baby and tucked 'er in under her blankie with her favorite battery tender... sigh... Sad

Oh well, Merry Christmas all, I predict a short winter. Sorry snowmobiler buddies!! Shrug

As Croak already noted, ours is coming down already melted. Another Green Christmas in Vancouver!

Jim, I hope you get that road closing blizzard you are hoping for. Nothing like a Snow Day!

Merry Christmas to all. May you have a wonderful holiday, and peace and happiness to you and your families.

Freezing rain over here. Had a bit of white stuff last week but it's all gone now.
And we have this stupid law that says you need winter tires between Dec 15 and March 15.
The roads were dry last weekend with +6°C temps but we can't ride.  Sad

Anyone has MC winter tires?  Headscratch

Does that apply to motorcycles?  How's the law worded?  Snow tires aren't made for heavy trucks so it must allow them to stay operating.  A Ural would be a relatively safe winter motorcycle in Quebec's weather.  Barring that, Can Am Spyders have standard car sized rim, so you could mount studded snow tires if you wanted.
