You had SUNSHINE? I'm an hour south-west of you and the sun didn't make any appearance today. I know London got nailed... my b/f's daughter is going to university there and she called us today... the snow in some places "was up to her butt", as she so aptly described it! I used to live in Muskoka so I know what that feels like! :lol:

P.S. I'm still doing yardwork too, but I have to shovel away the snow to do it! :rofl:

I remember that corridor around Kitchener-Waterloo in the winter... if there was snow anywhere within a hundred miles, you'd have whiteouts on the 401 in that stretch.

How true!!

The sun is overrated All it does is bring warmth and happiness, both of which can interfere with the Canadian lifestyle of shoveling snow and shivering in the dark.

Yes, I believe that is from the Canadian Citizen Test.

You should see what our Freezers look like!

I'm guessing there is a compartment just for bulk storage of cheese curds.

"As any pedestrian in Florida knows, walking in this car-obsessed state can be as tranquil as golfing in a lightning storm."

A pedestrian walked across Semoran Boulevard in Orlando last week.

When I saw the photo in the article, I was astonished the lady was still in one piece, but we don't actually see her on the relative safety of the sidewalk. I drive on this road frequently and can attest to the fact that it is a very dangerous road, that eventually leads to the Orlando International Airport where pesky tourists who have no idea of where they are going, come and go.

Pesky tourists? Isn't that Florida's main industry?

 

[Daniel E.]

It's only the Canadian tourists that are pesky  The rest have GPS, iPhone maps, etc.
