sijuki-Yes i'm sure i;m canadian. 100% baby. But the reason i live in vancouver is because everywhere else in canada it snows too friggin much. I prefer the westcoast. Rain beats snow anyday.

Hey columbia. Where are you exactly? Kelowna, penticton, vernon..?

LOL Yep rains nicer than snow, 'less it's Christmas and then I hate it.

I'm between Kelowna and Vernon: Winfield! But normally I just say Kelowna 'cause nobody knows what Winfield is.

okay i lied. A couple of days ago we got our stupid friggin snowstorm (1st of the winter season). ughhhhhh And we have an arctic front so now we have temperaturs of -10 degrees celsius in vancouver!!!! I can't remember it being so cold here ever! What the hell. I had to walk to the bus stop today and i realized that my mittens do jack shit. How do people live in the rest of canada. seriously. Mabye i've been spoiled (since it was mild and didn't snow last winter at all), but I can't comprehend how ppl live like this! All the power to you easterners! (moc, cd...etc.)

ps. yes i'm complaining and yes i'm a wimp.

Tuque, mittens, scarf, Gor-tex, fleece, boots. That's about what you need to survive Dio ...I'm in Montréal right now, visiting a friend, and I wanted to go back home today but it started snowing and my mum called to tell me not to drive in the snow...Ok mum! heheh! No problem, I can stay here as long as you tell me to!

Well, we went skating outside yesterday afternoon, in the Old Montréal... People who don't love winter are those who don't do winter sports...

Or people that have to spend more time in the cold than they want to.

Question

Well, right now we are having 'Extreme windchill'...It should go down to minus 42 celcius (or minus 44F if you prefer) during the night...I'm not even letting my husky dog out! Cars are having a hard time and just taking the garbage out is an adventure heheheh! Looks like CD should have came here instead if he wanted that cold weather!
