looking good Wayne. There will always be another fishing and boating season just around the corner.


We had an incredible Thanksgiving weekend weather wise here too. We almost couldn't believe how nice it was- high 20's 3 days in a row and beautiful warm evenings too.

Yowsers, it's too cold for me out there, I don't think I could handle temps that cold. The more temperate winters of southwestern Ontario are more my style..

^Definitely some incredible temperature swings in cow town. The lows are pretty nippy compared to our norms too.

Although not as drastic, we've had some temperature swings here as well. I am sure you have too. Earlier this week it was sunny and +8C, the next day the high was -12C. It's been an odd winter so far but I am not complaining. With no snow on the ground, I'll take it. Although we are supposed to get 5cms today.

Looks like some MUCH nicer temps are headed your way over the next several days. I'm sure it will be a welcomed change for you.

Yes, there have been more swings than usual here too. We've been even a bit warmer up to +10 a few days lately but coldest high has been about -6 or so IIRC. We've had one low of -15 last week but other than that it's been a warm winter. No snow on the ground either although a bit is forecast today and a few days later. Feb is always our coldest month.

Our highs seem to be averaging a couple of degrees warmer and the lows 4-5 degrees warmer than historical. Not a bad thing to me!

Cow town does the -28 thing and then up to +10 or vice versa.

Yes it does, and it's sometimes a bit of a shock, but a welcome one. This time it went the other way...super-mild one day, then straight into the deep-freeze!

Agreed. Spend a couple weeks at my grandparents' condo in Ft. Lauderdale every year, and every time I go down in the winter, the girls are wearing sweaters while I'm in a t-shirt and shorts.
