Time to KILL that freakin' gopher!! It must have been drunk when it predicted an early spring.

According to the weather network, we're getting another 10 cm on saturday and another 10 cm on tuesday!

The 14 day forecast looks terrible.

Global warming my ****. This winter started with that big snow storm in November and it looks like for at least most of March we're screwed. That's 5 months of deep winter not including the crap leading up to november and the junk we'll likely get until May.

I look at it like this; when there's all this snow I don't feel so bad for taking the insurance off the car, save kms being put on it, less gas costs, etc.

When the weather is good during the winter, it kills me! This winter, has been ok for that reason.

Plus, call me crazy, but I love driving in the snow, it IS fun!!

of course, summer ALL year long would be MUCH more preferable!
But then I think I would start approaching Mr Mark (CDN-WOLF Eh's) mileage sooner than I'd like to.

It's starting to get ridiculous. I've used the snowblower so much this winter, I've started to worry what kind of gas mileage it gets!

I bought my car to drive and it gets better gas mileage than the S10 I'm driving. Oh yeah, I guess I'm still saving on the insurance

I was hoping the weather would look good next Wed so I could get out of this province with the car and take it to Bowling Green and then Tennessee.

Maybe the snowplow ran them over or just buried them in a snowbank!

They just put out another winter storm warning starting later today saying we could get up to 50 cm of snow before it's over. This is pathetic.
