I was only being sarcastic co co  Up until last week it was still green here but we have a foot of snow + now and it's coming down again today. I honestly thought we were going to have a green Christmas this year but no such luck!

Which brings up a good point, what kind of coat do you own? Why did you get that kind? Is it the warmest coat you've ever had?

lol - funny you ask about the coat - I dont have one!! I'm not a fan of winter to be honest....dislike the freezing cold. If the weather could be more resonable I'd enjoy it more. I don't ski so other than maybe snowmobiling there is not much outside for me to do other than smoke  I actually bought my first pair of winter boots last week in I don't know how long. They sure are nice n warm tho! Bring on the summer!

So what kinda temps do you get in the summer?
P.S. Don't you get super cold going outside in the winter, if even just walking from the parking lot to the store without a coat?

Summer here is pretty much the same as what you guys get...Hot and humid cept this past summer, which wasn't very warm at all. We didn't get nice weather here until August really. The first part of the summer was a wash, being cold and rainy all the time. I won't get cold, us Canucks have hardened skin eh - we also grow extra fur to keep us warm!

I just want to know what you think about your health care. The few Canadians I know hate it. Here, it's touted as the greatest thing ever.

I have actually tried the dog sledding - it's fun and you would be surprised at how fast those dogs get going too! Only problem is, never feed your dogs anything that might give them the runs otherwise you want to be moving backwards!

Awww, that's disgusting! LOL Of course that's a fine line, feeding something that might give humans the runs might not effect dogs and vise versa.

Yea, on the run - no time for stopping. Ever notice dog sledders always wear goggles like skiers? They aren't for the wind ya know!

Yeah, I think I feel more sorry for the non-lead dogs...they are really getting the raw end of the deal. They are VERY close.
