Like it isn't bloody cold enough already....

Haaha. Glad to hear people are getting a taste of what it's like to live Canadian. That's why we invented a beer called Canadian. Long and cold like winter. Wouldn't it be funny if our weather patterns changed? We get yours, you get ours. We'll be growing watermellon here soon.

 

Its about to snow down here in Texas. I hardly ever get to say that.

 

Be prepared for Dallas stadium roof collapse.

 

That particular roof won't collapse (it isn't air filled like the Metro-dome), but they have had an "internal" collapse of a semi-cover they put on the field for show sales and stuff. I'll look around on the net and see if I can find a pic of that silliness.

 

Yep, four degrees below zero here this morning. And I have be sommend to the unemployment office at 8 this morning. This will be a first......: /

 

Four whole degs below zero eh? You won't get a whole bunch of sympathy here, but misery loves company....Have you got long johns? Those are underwear worn underneath your regular clothes. The way things are going, I'd recommend every American invest in a pair. Mittens are gloves with the fingers sown together. A toque (eh) is a woolly apparatus worn over your noggin (head). Also, winter tires are good. And a block heater, which warms the oil in your motor so it will turn over in negative temps.
And while we are aboot it, why don't you guy's just go metric? Join the rest of the world mmmK?

 

I would like to see you northern mommies boys take a month straight of 100 degrees with 80% humidity, you can use the mittens and long johns to wipe the sweat from your fevered brow! Besides the dang snow came from your way!

 

That is precisely why I dislike Texas, I was down there one late summer delivering steel bin sections and it was killer hot (95), and so humid you couldn't even sweat. There were mosquito squadrons living to eat me alive, and I ended up having a "heat stoke" while I was helping the "Texans" unload my flat-bed. I failed to notice that they were a crew of seven, I was just me. They would shelter under the shadow of either my semi, or in their own pickup and suck up water and stuff, I wasn't "versed" in combating this type of heat.

I passed out, they dragged me under my flat-bed and gave me Gator-Aid when I sort of came around. Give me the cold any day. I can put on stuff to stay alive, you can only get down to "naked" in the heat.

 

It's been in the 70's all week here, the mornings are usually a couple degrees either side of freezing and we're shaping up to have a good crop of mosquitos. Shorts and a sweat shirt are enough if you're not working.

 

So, I have to dress like Bob and Doug Mackenzie? Take off you hoser!

 

BTW Belasar, my state's natural gas company is having problems delivering the goods because of rolling blackouts in Texas. If I join the 20,000 tonight without heat, I'm common after the Texans here!!

 

I was living about an hour Northern Illinios during the blizzard of '78 so do know about that stuff, its why I went south!

 

Here's a chance for Mexico to make some money. Tex needs the Mex for help. Who'd have thunk? Let us know if Alberta can help. Don't let the beer freeze. You may also need a trucker tube for your snowsuit.
Heard the super bowl stadium in Dallas is immune to power outages.

 

I was watching the news Tuesday, the day before the big storm hit Chicago. There was some big sissy from the weather channel talking about how cold and windy it was. It wasn't even snowing yet but that pantywaist was wearing SKI GOGGLES.

What a wimp.

Mmmmm...weather channel girls. Almost worth the cold.

 

That reminds me of the Swedish Bikini Team from 90s.
