    It's a good thing that we like snow!

    There is nothing prettier than a fresh snowfall on a clear and sunny day.

    We've had a fair bit of snow in England for the last few days. Probably we have less equipment to clear it than you do in Canada. Turning to slush now!

    I remember days like that when I was in Michigan... don't know if I will ever get my back straight after spending so many hours shoveling.

    We dodged a bullet in Oxford, Mississippi for snowfall during this last front. However, there was 5 inches that covered the ground 2 hours south of us.

    I'm glad for those that got (and like) the snow. For others, (that dread the solid rain) sorry.

    Victoria has flowers blooming and we are walking around in shirt sleeves. Temp today is 7°C or 44°F.

    Victoria does have a snow plow - but the guy who knows how to drive it spends the winter in Florida.

    We didn't get as much snow in Kitchener, as you did in London Father Bill, but there was a Wee bit of a Cool Draught when I wore my Kilt to Church last Sunday. Not one asked why I would wear it on such a cold day, a couple friends did ask if I found it cold. Most were just glad I wore it.

    I like going for a walk in the lightly falling snow. I will have to try it wearing the Kilt. I live in a City that is quite Diverse, I don't think anyone would give me a second look if I wore my Kilt in the snow.

    Padre.... contrary to your weather in Ontario we are setting record temps in Alberta. Although the dry ground is a hazard for fires.

    One day last week we had a dusting of snow; very rare down here in the SW-US. Alas, it was melted away before mid-morning.
