November's often pretty cool here. We got spoiled in late October/early November.

Should be fair brisk for the CFL Western Final on Sunday! Thankfully I'll be watching it from the comfort of home...

Man... you guys think you got it rough? Frick... dropped down to 10 yesterday... and now it's at 5! Above grade, that is.

Okay, okay... it's not so bad- but apparently my S-Drive tires will explode and the world tumble to a cataclysmic demise if the temp drops below 5. Might need to drive the folk's PT cruiser... which, strangely enough, is equipped with a turbo.

I think the fact that Dad was forever reminding me of that finally pushed me over the edge.


I went through Calgary on Wednesday... not going to lie you guys- I miss a bunch of you but I'd send you all to the glue factory in a heartbeat to not be weathering those temps.

-19 at this time , my winter car took a dump last night, was too damn cold and forgot to plug it in or start it for the past 4 days, I guess having less than a half of tank of gas is not recommended in this weather lol, the G is really solid with winter tires, but don't like taking it out when the roads are really bad, not because the car is not safe, is because of the guy next to me or the one behind me might not be as prepared for this weather as I am.

Ya, I hear you some guy rear ended our Altima two years ago but at least he never ran over the kids in the cross walk that my wife had stopped for

My forecast says we might see 0 by Friday, but moderating starting tomorrow. Good thing, it's colder than a witch's mammary gland today...

I can't believe you guys are still in that cold snap. Wow. I am glad we haven't seen any temps remotely even close to that here yet. The low here for tonight is 8C.
