(OT)  It's what?  SNOWING?  --  

Yes, I woke up today to discover that snow is falling from the sky and building up on the ground.

"Yeah, well you live in Canada, eh?"

Our only other real snowfall this season was on December 14, 2009 . . . that is three months ago.  Since then we've had the warmest January on record and a February where the temperature hovered aboud 50` all month.  Heck, right across the way, they had to truck snow in for a bunch of the Olympic venues.

Weird.

ROTFLMHO - the Olympics are not the white out predicted and no sooner have they finished then it starts to snow.
There has to be something in this. Is it a sign that the Almighty is not a sports fan?

It must be that Global Warming thing!

Or that all the hot air generated by the media types is finally drifting off ... and causing storms down here in Arkansas!

Actually the Paralympics are on right now in the same venues and they are doing lovely in all the extra snow!!!

I was just over in Vancouver and saw a whole crowd going to Cypress Bowl (the venue that had to bring in snow) and the report was that there was good snow now for the "second" Olympics for those facing physical challenges!

For the snow around here ... it will all be gone tomorrow morning, I am reasonably certain.

Jeff - I would quite willingly have swapped our January weather for yours. I live in northern England and we've had the worst winter for years. Snow, snow and more snow. 'orrible stuff.
