Winter still holding on

[PeterB]

It seems that the snow doesn't want to go away. Just looked out the window and its a white out. Go figure. And is this Global Warming?? By the way this is wet coast not the snow coast

Cheers

took today off work to work on the 33 coupe, and what did it do this afternoon? Snow, in Victoria no less, in mid-April. Apparently the first time in 50 years! But it was gone in an hour or so, although the weatherman says we may get some tomorrow.

[rustbucket]

below zero till thursday with snow most days
this SUCKS !!!!!!!!!!!
washed the motorbike last week and was ready for a little spring ride to get some parts for the A's rear suspension..ohhh well back to the truck.

[shaune]

Going to be cold and snowy here all week....slow start to the fire season suits me fine. :D

[John in Oz]

I'm not going to say much here Peter, but we have been getting some rain, yip yar, mind you it is that cold I had to put a thicker T shirt on just because of the cool breeze after the rain, and here I was thinking you guys had sent your cold weather this way, Keep safe guys on those icy roads.

Cheers, John

Ahhhhhhhh.... That's too bad there guys, with the cold and snow and all. It's been an awful week here. Sunny and warm and the last few days in the low to mid 70's. Had to cut the grass and til the garden up for momma to plant this weekend. The boyz have their cars and bikes out and the boats are headin down to the marina to be dropped in today. The perch are biting and Pike are running and the Rainbows are just starting. It's about time.:D

[Ford_Fellow]

Went out last night to shut down the shop and with the wind it felt like it was twenty below but I knew it was only seven below or so....My biggest question today so far is whether to take Roo with me to breaky or not.....Still a bit windy out there......This weather may just make some a tad on the cranky side......That it fer me thought's so fer this morning......

[sqhd]

I can't believe this! Mid April, looks more like Christmas!

was out gardening just two days ago, now I need to bring out the snow shovel, and it's still coming down.

[b-bob]

It's sunny and nice here ,but the breeze is cool. Don't know the temp. but not bad.

[lucky]

[bullet]

Shorts and T's here today. It's about freakin' time.

[PeterB]

Here is a flip. We in the west got our Snow warning but the folks in Hog town , sorry Toronto, received their first Smog warning:eek::eek::eek:. I guess snow isn't to bad after all.:D

Woke up to 2" of snow this morning but could see the grass by 2pm. It was nice and dry though chilly this afternoon but a nice day to take the Chevelle for a nice run. Got bonus this evening as I was low on gas. Went down to the local Shell here and they were out of Bronze and Silver grades and only had their Gold left. They priced their Gold at the Bronze level so it helped swallowing the $1.24 price. One thing for sure is that the motor sure liked the difference, ran real nice. Took a nice evening cruize with the heater on.
Got to stay warm :cool:

[CDNflatlander]

No different in regards to the flip/flip/flip weather here!! Nice on Thursday, out quading in the foothills +14 and sunny! Lastnight tucked in friends theater room with fireplace burning eating 'snacks' on Christmas plates (seemed fitting) as it was near blizzard outside:eek::eek:
There are snow drifts in my yard better that 24" deep!.........roads too crappy to bother to drive to the shop for quality car time. Stay home and build brownie points for when roads are better.
Looking forward to dry clear roads,
Greg.

Took the '54 Wagon to Hot Rod Breakfast yesterday am....minus 12 when I
left the house. The snow in the yard is like concrete today !:(:(

We are getting a little grouchy here!!:(

[Ford_Fellow]

I bin doing yard work for the last five days and wearing insulated coveralls...If this keeps up going to check out the motor cycle shops and see what they have for electric heated boots and gloves...On second thought nobody looks at yard when cold so should just quit yard stuff and have a coffee and carolina's in the hot tub.....Think I will just do that.....No wind this morning.....No sunshine yet either..........

You want to hope that what the flatlands has stalled over them stays stalled or you be tradein your convert for a snowmobile...........And right behind what they have we got just old fashioned cold with wind....No wind this morning YET........

Hugh........

[Ford_Fellow]

Went to hot tub....Feet warm now....Had Carolina's in me coffeee.....Tummy warm now.....Came in when the little white snow flakes started to come down..

Hugh...................

[rustbucket]

minus god knows what and the snow's still falling.
times like this i ask myself why ???

[CDNflatlander]

Stick in there Rust.......We are almost through this muck!! Use the time saved from mowing the lawn to pick up bug spray and gardening tools......ah, I'm tired of this too......need a holiday. Wife wants rum in her coffee (maybe a little early yet).
The 'good' part of this rough spring weather, not many people on the roads:D:D (didn't see any of the motorbikes out there this morning either)

[Cword]

Eight months to Christmas...

:D

[hotroddchick22]

Darn you Easterners!! You sent this crap this way, didn't you?!?! :D

That's Canada for you. I got stuck in the parking lot at work. I had to get the guys to come out and push me out. Then our salesman had the nerve to say to me "So, here's a question. Why did you park in the snow?! It just doesn't make sense." He wasn't joking either. He kinda ticked me off; why would you say that to anyone who just made a simple error in judgement? I replied back to him, in a very kind tone by the way, "In case you didn't notice, there's snow everywhere!"

Maybe I should have said, "So, here's a question. Are you a prick every morning, or are Mondays special?"

Put me in a grumpy mood. Thanks a lot! :mad:

[Cword]

My bike got stuck in a drift this morning.
I had to pick it up and walk 4 or 5 steps to firmer snow before getting back on.
:p

[b-bob]

Hughie, you have a great outlook on life. I wish i had as much 'off time' as you. Seems like you have been on vacation for many months now. I'm envious.
