Hey, we're a balmy 47F with rain here. You must be downstream of
their jet stream.

WHAT? They have weather forecasting in Canuckistan? I'd have thought
it was a simple case of saying "It's -x degrees C and snowing." and
leave it at that. Summers are "It's x degrees C and snowing.", right?

There's something to be said for rain. You don't have to shovel it.
It is normal weather for January and a bit windy. Just an inch or so
of the white stuff. Just enough to make it nice, and not enough for
the few crazies in the neigbourhood to fire up their V-8 powered snow
blowers.
Great dog-walking weather...... still need a parka though.

Around here V-8 powered snow blowers are considered light weight machines
intended for small tasks such as clearing sidewalks.

Ah yes, rain. It mixes with the melting snow on the ground and freezes
into an unmovable mass, or freezes on the road creating perilous road
conditions.

I'd rather have the snow.

Oh yes indeed. Freezing rain, or frozen rain...and worse, frozen mix
of snow and rain all suck.
I would much rather have snow too. I can drive in snow, ice is another
matter entirely.

Not me. Most ice I can get some traction on. When I have real trouble
with ice, it's down the street, not the sidewalk. Snow? It's five feet
out the door and I'm stuck.

Luckily, there's a really decent food delly/food store in my building.
I'm quite sure it's accounted for at least 50lbs of weight that I
carry around.

You mean you still haven't got it yet?

Sit tight, the jet stream will get it to you.

They use the rope method. If the rope is swingin' it's windy, if it's wet,
it's raining, if it's stiff, it's cold.

But seriously, shut the door, ok?

I'd have thought you used weather rocks up there. When I looked at it
this morning, I saw 20-35kmh winds up there in the GWN. Doesn't rope
swing too much in that little breeze, Joe?

Sure they can, just they rewrite the almanac and destroy the
originals.

Turns out that predicting tomorrow will be the same as today is about as
accurate as any other means.
