Another fine example of why I like living in Florida.

I once lived in Florida a few years ago. We lived in the northern part so it frosted every once in awhile. And I also remember the one time I spotted a brown widow in our carport closet. O.O
I let my husband take out the trash after that incident.

Frost and ice aren't so bad. Ice you have to crack off of your car windows, not so much.

As much as I'm not so fond of that song, Salone, every time I come from work on Friday I'm humming it as I walk in the door.

Poor Canadian. :(
A lot of your country is encased in ice right now. =/ I've heard Tim Hortons is quiet good :3 - which reminds me, I need to get my enhanced ID so the manbeast and I can go up to Canada - I love Canada.

People have different opinions. I personally like the soups and steeped tea. Not really a coffee person. That's probably why the Krispy Kreme went down so fast. More people go to Timmy's for coffee than for donuts.

I live in Fort St. John right now, a rural city in North-Eastern BC at the same latitude as Moscow. It certainly gets cold (normally) but it's rarely this wet. Most of the time the snow is so dry it won't even stick to itself unless you add a bit of water. Makes it easy to move but as soon as you do move it it packs into a solid lump that you aren't moving without heavy tools. Living up here for a bit, I am no longer surprised the Inuit have so many words for now. We could use a few of them.

Amusing anecdote (to me), we had a friend visiting from Australia. When she got to the airport here it was under renovations so the plane landed on the tarmac and people just walked from the plane to the airport (this is normal. If there is snow they might put up a tarp to walk under). She didn't understand at first why we were all standing outside the airport. The baggage carousel wasn't working because of the renos, so porters brought out the luggage from the plane to the front of the airport via snow-mobile and carts. Welcome to Northern Canada!

XD

I'm sure she was very confused.

I live in Washington (just south of BC). If I were landing in Northern Canada in the winter I would somewhat expect it to be crazy-ass cold and the appearance of a snow mobile would be a practical choice...but then again Seattle actually gets snow once in a blue moon, so we're not entirely naive to the thought.

Do I detect a fellow Canadian in here?

There are a couple of us floating around here, Nevy.

I've only been to Seattle a couple times, despite growing up on the coast and living in Vancouver for some years. I would like to go back but right now prospects are better up here. I still prefer water and mountains to prairies and snow, but it's not too bad up here.

I really want to visit the prairies someday. They sound snowy and beautiful. :3

Having grown up around the prairies... eh. There's not really a whole lot to see. When they get snowy, snow is ALL you see. Flat snow all around, all the way to the horizon.

That's good to know I'm not the only Canadian around here. It sounds like we both live in B.C. too :P

Whereabouts are you?

I'm India... far, far away from my friends and dear Triskin...

fellow Washingtonian!

enjoying the rain?

I live in a pretty small city. It's about four hours from Vancouver. Maybe a little less...I don't remember exactly. My cousin just moved up where you are.

Something like Hope? (If you'd rather not say, I'll stop trying to guess). That might be closer to Van than I'm thinking maybe. I'm better with names than actual geography.

Better Tuesday. Only frost on the window (thick frost) but I was up early enough to scrape it off and make it to work on time, before having to go back because I forgot to bring some archived files. -.-

I also discovered my rear defrost is functional! I was just a separate button. Yay, me.
