I thought I lived in Alberta during December and January this winter season but February has been almost Spring-like. Hope it spreads up your way soon.

I think I see the end of it here in New York. 40s and 50s from now on and it's supposed to rain tomorrow so hopefully it will wash out all the salt off the roads!

They are talking "feet" here in SLC---at least a foot in the Valley---which means 12-18" at my house and "feet" in the mountains. I'll be snowblowing on Saturday and in Orlando Saturday night--there's a 1 2 punch that Im not going to mind.

It's not winter. It's where you decide to spend winter. In some places, it's 75 and sunny in winter

Even if it warms up next week the potholes are brutal already and I dare not venture out with Pcar. After hitting a bad pothole last night in the A3 I had to check to see if my tire was damaged. I should just buy a truck like everyone else in this province.

Last week North of Quebec city, I hit -30 celcius , down the slopes, Believe it or not, we are skiing here even if it's that cold. Up the hills it was -33 + winshield -41 celcius. The 993 sleeps inside these days...

Here is the proof.
