Cold Enough For You?

My Mother, who lives in White Rock, a southern BC place that rarely sees snow or sub zero weather, said it was snowing so hard down there she can't see anything, let alone her magnificent ocean view, through her windows.

My inlaws, who live in Victoria, which boasts the warmest climatic zone in Canada, they even grow palm trees there, told me, despite having the warmest temperatures in BC today, there was still snow on the ground when they woke up and the clouds in the sky were making their day very dark.

I delighted in telling them that here in Prince George we have sun, lots of sunshine flooding my house and warming it up, although, despite the yellow light shining on the thermometer it was still a chilly minus 12 outside.

Now the sun has gone to bed it's minus twenty but, according to Environment Canada it’s minus 34 with the windchill. BRRRR. They predict similar temperatures for the next few days. I think I'm canceling that ski trip tomorrow.

I wasn't planning on writing anything today because NaBloPoMa is finished. But hey, I'm Canadian and we all know we love to talk about how much colder and horribler our weather is than yours.
