and it just kept coming for three days...that was the hardest part, there was no break at all.  That and the shoppers turned my commute home into a 1.5 hour explitive-fest.

@Captain, I can only imagine up in Canada.

Indeed, here in Canada we are actually getting a lot of snow (which helps fuel Americans who think that we're constantly blanketed), to the point where all of the country has snow on the ground for Christmas - the first time in a very long time.

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
Except that it's attracting wolves
Oh we're dead, oh we're dead, or we're dead.

When I lived in Toronto, we didn't get much snow - but when we did, it was always wet, sloppy, miserable stuff. It got in your coat, your pants, your boots and the wetness alone made you feel 10 degrees colder.

Minnesota was actually better - it was cold enough that the snow would stay decently frozen. It's easier to keep the cold air out than the wet slush.

Totally agree.  The wet/cold combination is the worst.  (Time to go create some slushy spells---cool, I needed to make more water-based spells)
We're in the teens today, but tomorrow is shooting into the 40's...WTF? :wtf:

So as many of you know, I am lucky enough to be able to split my time between college in Hawaii and jet lagged holidays in Maryland.

It's 28 degrees in Maryland right now.  It's 77 degrees in Hawaii.  I just realized I don't actually have winter clothes anymore.  I'm kinda cold.

I used to live in Bremerton, Washington. We would get lots of snow but it was all super saturated stuff. Came down in big globs of slush and froze over to create a thick sheet of ice on everything.

Yeah, the slush is always a big issue, but we are getting quite a bit of nice snow this year. just got another couple inches last night. sposed to rain on x-mas and boxing day, though, which is intorelably lame.
Question - who else here is Canadian, and if so, from what point? any more Torontonians?
