Kilting in the cold

Geoff,

What's that structure behind your head? (I don't mean the house, but the tall thin structure).

I live near Montreal and winter is the only time of the year I'm not kilted.
Have you tried to be kilted when mercury drops at -20C ?

I'm kilted in the winter here in Montreal, but I need thicker hoses...

And where is all the snow...

We also have plenty of snow in France this year... straight from Norway ! Skal !

BTW, you look great !

Best,

I see that you blame Norway the way we blame Canada. '...the dreaded Alberta Clipper or freezing Canadian air mass.....'

Only the 40+ inches we got in the last week came from Texas!

We sent it back as revenge...

That would be a tree.....

hehe

Actually that's a chimney if you are referring to the tall boxy structure. You see a lot like that in newer construction around here.

Ahh you can take the boy out of the Michigan snow but you can't...errr ummmm..well you get it!

Looks great!

El Niño turns out to be El Ña Ña! Snow for the poor ones who've been missing out for all these years.

I think that I heard once that as the ice caps melt they absorb heat from the atmosphere. Barb T, as a scientist, if you see this, do you think there is any truth to a little cool as part of the thaw?

Thanks, I did wonder. It's a strange place to put a chimney. It's in front of windows too.

I was just walking by BC Place - the home of the 2010 Olympic opening ceremony and noticed all the cherry trees in bloom.

It is a chimney, and it is not really in front of the windows. The end unit of the town houses it's attached to is facing to the side, which you can't tell in this picture.

I really didn't want to start a discussion/debate on climate change of whatever variety - too much heat gets generated - lol.
