Well cuz I love to bit@h about the weather Didsbury Alberta was the coldest place on earth Friday Dec 6th -41.

We were lucky it was only -38 in my neck of the woods yup a balmy -38.

It funny watching the dogs when we let them out they won't wear the dog boots pull them off with their teeth so they do there business standing on two legs and high tail it back in before

Cheers
Roger

    Even in California winter weather I had to push my dogs outside, and they did not want to leave the house when it was cold and raining outside. California cold, maybe in the 40s or 50s.

    I had to laugh today I was watching golf (Tiger's Charity Tourney) and one of the TV guys had said it was a frigid out.

    But of course it what's your used to.

    Today it warmed up to -10 took the dogs for a run we thought it beautiful,people were smiling saying how nice it was out.

    What difference a day makes.

    The wife says why do you complain about the weather so much. I said cuz I can and I also **** about the City and snow removal asshats don't plowed the side streets and for most folks getting out of their sub divisions is a nightmare it's actually better if it's below -20 at least your not pushing snow and wrecking the front of your car the snow is so hard you ride on top of it.Not a big deal for me I drive a 3/4 ton GMC but the cars and Mini Vans sure is tough.

    So sorry to be bitching I will try and keep the whining to a minimum.

    Cheers

    Now that's funny.

    The only good thing is these extreme cold snaps usually don't last more then a few days. So it does give a fella a chance to sit around and play some tunes.

    And when it does warm up you get out and enjoy the winter activities. We are off to our local ski hill today it should be fun.

    Cheers

    Welcome to my town. You couldn't have come here willingly this time of year. Although it does put one in the Christmas spirit :)

    You have an X-wife? How could anyone leave such a lovable guy? I'm surprised, Tony!


    As for cold. The coldest temp I've ever experienced was -37 degrees one night up here in the '90s. I was at a friend's house about an hour north having dinner and it came time to return home. In my tricked-out Hyundai Excel of that time with its manual transmission. I got into my car and couldn't get into reverse because my gear box was frozen. Had to run the engine for about 30 minutes before I could get started!

    I definitely don't envy you and you have every right to complain!
