    I was SURE that pic was photoshopped... but then again there appears to be a shadow on the snow.
    Canadians swim with their socks on, eh? Don't want their feet getting cold I guess. lol
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    I once paid my daughters $5 each to get out of the hot tub (hey - it came with the house!) and do a snow angel on the deck... which they both did. Then they convinced me it wasn't really that bad, and they would give half the $10 back if I tried it... they are clever little liars my daughters... it was so cold it was painful!

    You know, not to change the subject but that pic expresses almost exactly what it feels like to be a Browns fan....winter suchs and so does ...ah never mind.
    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    it's funny I use to really like the winter months , look forward to the snow and not be bothered by the cold. Now I like the first snow and thats it, the cold sucks and I long for warmer days.
    I guess it has something to do with getting older , my tolerance for cold has diminished.

    Yeah thanks a lot and it's all blowing from up there to down here spose to be -25 wind chills this evening to windy and cold to set up the portable Ice house. So I guess the tunes will be in constant rotation then a few people that did not make it to our super bowl party will brave the cold and come over and play cards. Cabin fever is starting to set in.

    I mean when it's to cold to enjoy the ice and snow it gets old fast, thanks to these dang nab Canadian cold fronts.
