Well the snow has finally graced us with it's presence, and so has the cold.

Today it was -30C, that's -22F for you American folks. Yes, it's a wee bit chilly.

So we're all stuck indoors during the evening, no way to go for a walk, or even run to the mail box. It's too darn cold.

Since this snow and cold is depressing the snot out of me, I figured I'd try to cheer myself up by searching for pictures of people that may have it worse than we do right now.

So enjoy and add whatever you like to the mix. :)

Very funny.

Actually we had severe rain storms and tornado warnings here but the temp was almost 70 degrees today. By Thanksgiving the high is supposed to be about 29 degrees and some snow.

[Alty]

I'm throwing a snow ball at you Stringer.

70 degrees! I wish. I'm so cold right now that I can hear my toes chattering. I'm all bundled up, the heater is going strong, and I'm making hot chocolate. :)

This morning when I went to start the car I swear I heard the engine say "Screw you, I'm not going anywhere".

[Stringer]

Ours is coming soon hon.

Hey I worked on the displays in the yard today and plan to put in a few hours tomorrow too. I still have to do the patio and the gazebo in the back yard... Christmas is coming!!

Good night, tomorrow hon, I have a few things to take care of now... :)

It was 27c here today, it's still nearly 19c, I don't like leaving the window open at night because our bedroom looks straight out to the road and I don't trust people :(

On a good note I'm going to dig out the Christmas lights tonight so I can start planning the garden invasion.

Ooooh and I love this video, so cute:

We got dumped on a bit yesterday. My kids are ecstatic, they love playing in the snow. Once the wife and I both get our snowtires installed we'll breathe a little easier.

That was cute.

Brrrr! I was running between the post office and work in short sleeves today. Keep the cold up there, please.

[haze]

It is summer where I am :)

[Alty]

NK and I are going to put a snow curse on all of you. ;)

The kids stayed home today, not because they're sick, not because it's too cold, but because my darn car won't start. I guess it's not fond of -30. I even plugged it in, still no go. I need a sled and a team of dogs.

I'm holding out for Thursday, supposed to be 0 then. I'll be running around in shorts and a t-shirt. From -30 to 0 is quite a drop.

Of course that's only going to last a day or two. By Saturday we're supposed to be at -19, which is still a lot better than -30.

Someone hold me. I'm cold!

[Stringer]

Yeah our 70 degrees yesterday turned into about 25 degrees today... BBbbbrrrrrrrrr... My grandson and I worked on the displays for a couple hours but had to quit as the wind kicked up a bit and it got even colder. I'm done for the day, going to sit by the fireplace with some hot chocolate now (with marshmallows of course).

[Alty]

A few more pictures for all the winter buffs.

[Stringer]

I like the first few days of winter then I am tired of it... :rolleyes:

[Alty]

Same here Stringer.

You have to have snow for Christmas, but after that it can all melt and go directly to spring.

[Stringer]

Yep and we haven't had snow on the ground ( like even two or three inches ) for Christmas for as long as I can remember.

[Emland]

The temperature dropped last night. It's in the low 60s today. Had to put on a long sleeve t-shirt.

You guys have my sympathies. I can't imagine ever living where the temp goes into the negatives!

Happy Thanksgiving!

[QLP]

The temperature is dropping, sleet expected tomorrow, snow by Friday. Sure you're not sending it this way Alty? I can't even imagine -30 though...

Son's gradutation on Saturday, hope the snow doesn't get too drastic and put the mockers on it. I got a nice warm skirt suit at a real bargain price and even some new boots though. :)

[Alty]

I'll try to keep the snow here until Sunday, after your sons graduation. ;)

-30 is cold but we've had worse. I remember going to work during a -44 week. Going outside was not recommended, you'd freeze within seconds. It was horrible, but work must be done. Thank Dog I could park in the garage back then, and had my car plugged in both at home and at work, otherwise I would have been stranded.

Tomorrow it's supposed to warm up. I'm longing for tomorrow. :)

[Stringer]

Geeze... this wind has blown over 4 of my displays even though I pounded ground pegs in all of them. It is too wet, cold and windy to go out there now, maybe tomorrow if they are still there... Man... or as my granddaughter would say... 'whatever.'
