  3. A couple of short weeks ago, when we were enjoying plus 30 degrees, the pessimistic side of me knew that payback time was in the near future. Early this morning, as I was attempting to pry open the frozen doors on my truck, I was fervently wishing for Al Gore to drive up to offer advice and assure me that the planet was indeed warming.

  4. if Al Gore shows his face to me, I will stick ice and snow up his lying orifices, and stomp on his wee gazungas
    how can lying fools like this be so rich ?

  7. A well intended “Meh” to those with new snow. Been snowing in Calgary for days now. I think it’s minus 17 with wind chill right now

  8. Sunny and 15 degrees in Vancouver today. Snow on the prairies, and points east, is just fine.

  9. Damn , it’s a month early at least , ain’t it ? I remember praying for snow for the first day of deer season on Nov 15th , back in Manitoba .

  10. I really like that photo you took outside the laundromat. Nice work, and apparently done “under the influence” to boot.

  12. Kate, it is still balmy here in Chester County which is about an hour west of Montgomery and Delaware Counties. Short sleeves are still fine for a few more weeks. This past summer was quite mild by Pennsylvania standards; in fact, it reminded me of Sask and Alta.

    “FRIDAY’S MODERATE STRENGTH NORTH WINDS TO GENERATE MID TO UPPER 40-DEGREE WIND CHILLS. Damp, a bit breezy and unseasonably cool. Highs 15-degrees below normal–more typical of November!(sic)”
    Saturday: “Becoming partly sunny, cool. 10 degrees below normal. A passing cloudy spell Saturday night, possibly a shower or flurry — then colder by morning.”
    Sunday: “Unseasonably chilly with November level highs”.
    Monday: “Columbus Day. The chill continues!”

  14. And they say it’s gonna snow in Chicago this weekend. The inconvenient truths keep happening in that hometown of Obama’s, don’t they?
    Looks like the alarmist predictions of the Seventies about a coming ice age are finally coming true, just in time to make Algore look like a silly dillhole.
    Now, I do believe I’ll have my winter tires put on early this year… and have ’em studded. It was that bad last year, iciest I’d ever seen.

  15. Sorry Kate, our Southern weather is still in the high 60’s and low 70’s.
    I am fixin to head to the barn and fire up the ole BBQ Pit for some 2″ thick ribeyes, baked potatoes wrapped in bacon, purplehull peas mixed with crowders and some hotwater cornbread.
    Desert is 7 & 7 on rocks. I’ll just be sipping of course.
    ,

  16. Ratt, its days like this I ask myself why did I have to marry a Canadian and leave the great state of Georgia. And hey share the peas and cornbread! 😀

  17. Tell you what, it has gotten a might cold around here as well. May snow Monday. You know what though? I moved here from Florida, and I don’t miss it a bit. Maybe a couple of the people, but the weather? Never.

  19. The picture made me think of several questions. Do your dogs have heated travel arrangements? How did it go with the wall of the house? Do the dogs know they are close to home by the smell of TH?

  20. How is a cold beer “BETTER TIMES” outside a launderette, rather than that rich deep cold of SasFreezerwan?

  21. Are peoploe from Saskatoon “Saskatonians”? What is the collective noun for people from Saskatchewa? Saskatchewanians? Saskatchewans?

    Regard all cthat freezing as righteous punishment from Al Gore and The One for all that evil energy Alberta produces!!!
    Next time Uncle Sam Lefty comes looking for oil, tell ’em you ain’t got nuffin’.

  25. RW…that pose in the Montgomery picture doesn’t look very feminine. Kate never says who ‘we’ are when travelling. I’m assuming she is accompanied by more than the dogs. You might have to get in line.

  26. There’s nothing very feminine about dog showing.
    If your idea of a “girls night out” includes watching tv through the front windows of a laundromat with your feet on the dash, you might be a redneck.
    (The walls are back together, and there’s a brand new roof line now, thanks very much. Still a lot of work to do but the major work is done.)

  27. By the way, Saskatoon has a “licensed laundromat” on Broadway Ave. Forget the name of the place,but I’ve been there a couple of times.

  28. Kate….
    You posted your own “Welcome Home Kate” invitation…..
    ….oh well….OK….it’s your site….
    we all welcome you home…un-encouraged….
    IMO….

  29. “What is the collective noun for people from Saskatchewa?”
    Popsicles, if I’m not mistaken…:)
