Sounds like Canada in winter! Strange thing is that it has snowed once in Toronto this year, which melted away fast. Almost tropical!

Thank god for global warming...

Josh.

Here too. We have devastatingly cold winters here sometimes. It's the damned wind from Canada in fact. We had just under 2 feet of snow for two days. The first day it reached nearly 80 according to the outside thermo. But the rain really saw it all off in the same time it took it to fall.

All in all its up and down like a yoyo. Even the heating system here is confused.  ::)

That's nothing.  Here in Las Vegas, it's going to get down to FOUR DEGREES tonight!!!!!That's like another ice age.

In fact, it will only make it up to 15 degrees today....
