    You think that's bad? Yesterday I walked out at 7:50 AM to start the car to a brisk, but still refreshing 7 degree celsius weather (44.6 for our Yankee friends). This morning it was 0 (32; Yanks), my windshield was frosted over and I could see my breath clear as day. Winter has fallen upon me, woe is me!

    I'm just hoping the snow doesn't stick around for 8 months as it did this past year.

    That would be me
    It should be illegal to sell anything Christmas related before December, I still can't believe you went back there a few days later and bought decorations LOL

    I hate it too; but ; Hey ... One stop shopping .

    Here in the USA, you can get Halloween , Thanksgiving , and Christmas decorations at the same time.

    Saves a couple of trips to the stores.

    Ain't retail stores just grand ?

    I'd just like to update, it started snowing briefly just before lunch. Has since stopped... It's too damn early for snow.

    I remember snow. It's that white stuff isn't it?

    Christmas used to be a fun winter holiday. now it is the basis for the whole American economy.Two shopping days, day after Thanksgiving and day after Christmas are when most of the shopping money is spent for the year. Seems like a messed up way to base your economic system. I don't buy gifts anymore, I give my wife and kids money. And after they get theirs, there is a whole dollar out of that fiver left for me!


    Happy Holidays.

    What IS snow? I don't know snow. Just scorching heat and boiling rain.
