My thoughts exactly!

We're going to start deporting non-Canadians from this thread. ;^))

Had to shovel some more snow to get my car out today, and to my relief, it is still floughfy.

(Not sure that deportation jokes are really funny anywhere these days.)

From frigid Quebec - somewhere I picked up that it was the 45th of January! usually it is February that is interminable, tho' we are better equipped to handle it than our poor southern neighbours ....

Marsupial

Hmm. I saw some paperwork recently indicating that something was scheduled for June 35th. Mind you 35 days in June would be much preferable to 45 in January.

Our snow ploughs, snow blowers, salt trucks and sidewalk ploughs, have all been named. It's a delight to watch the online feed of them travelling around the city. Santa's reindeer and all four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are part of the fleet.

Here we have Sir Salter Scott, Sir Andy Flurry, Irvine Squelch, Ice Sir I Can Boogie, Gritty Gritty Bang Bang and many, many more.

We are back into serious winter here. I hear that it’s actually warm in Alberta…

-24° forecast again tonight, but at least it's almost stopped snowing. The roads are all channels with snow piled up and nowhere to put any more. We've had lots of strong sunshine, so the spirits are raised by that. Even I, who likes the cold, could do with just a bit less of it.

Just came in from a walk. Short because way too cold for a long walk.
