Last year was a record setter on the high side. This year we are close to record-breaking on the low side.So far - but we are barely half-way in. And here in Kitchener-Waterloo sometimes we don't get any when all around us gets pounded - and other times WE are the target -usually hits a lot harder 15K north or west. Many winters we only see one or 2 days below -1F. This year we've already had over half a dozen. Supposed to hit -10F tonight. High today was about +8. Summer can start anytime after March - and restart several times, sometimes with snow in between. Sometimes the best summer weather we get comes in October. And sometimes after the first snow. We say if you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes. If you do, Ditto. Comes with living close to, and between 3 major lakes. At least we don't get Hurricaines (well we did in '54) and the Tornados are not a DAILY occurrence, but we've had our share of bad ones over the last 40 years or so. Last summer basically wasn't. But I'm not complaining. 72F from March to october would suit me just fine. The 2 winters I missed (actually 1 1/2) I was in Africa where the weather was SO predictable. For 90 days it rained. Virtually every day (in the years the rains came - which they did when I was there) and for the rest of the year you KNEW it wasn't going to rain. You could take that to the bank. We are using a LOT less salt over the last 10 years, so now our cars gat shaken to peices by potholes instead of rusting away. Still enough salt to do damage though!!!

"they are all square". Paint them the same colour, or even close, and she'd really be confused. Reminds me of when we were kids, my one grandfather had a Blue Buick. To my older brother all blue cars were Bluicks. Green were Greenicks etc. Then my other grandfather showed up with a blue DESOTO. OOPS!!! |
