blue skies and sunshine, it hasn't melted the snow on next doors roof

oops......I am living in the past it seems. Ron says chains were
banned eons ago cuz they chewed up the pavement. Doesn't seem to
matter about people getting *chewed up*.
You are a fair bit warmer than we are/were. It was minus 24C for a
few days due to windchill. I didn't go out unless I had to. Jan. &
Feb. are always the worst months here. My arthritis is absolutely
killing me due to the cold and damp. Haven't had my hands swell
like this for a few years. 8-((
And even tho we are probably one of the most southern parts of
Canada, latitude-wise, and are protected by Lake Ontario (causes
major snow storms dump on Buffalo, snicker), we are still bloody
cold. I see in the paper that Florida is down in the single digits
C. I do believe Edgar Cayce's predictions might just be coming
true. (axis shift of the poles causing weather changes.........and
he died in the 1940's, so never heard of global warming).
Night........Figgs

No point in tyre chains here since we're in a one in 50 year event
or something like that. Chains are a sensible investment if snow
and ice is a regular feature of one's winters but that's not the
case here with this winter seemingly being the worst since the
1960s. Temperatures in central London tonight are predicted to be
-3 to -4C (25-26F) with down to -9C (16F) in surrounding towns but
apparently it could get as low as -20C (-4F) in the countryside.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrr. Thankfully we
have the Gulf stream since otherwise we'd be a lot colder here in
London given that we are 8 degrees further north than Toronto.
I hope you enjoyed your dinner.

You folks have been getting a taste of our warmer weather, it
seems. Tomorrow will be about 18F here.......forget what that is
in Cent. cuz I avoid it when at all possible. I can't "feel" how
warm or cold it is in Centigrade.
To stay warm.......layer your clothes. And Ron says.....get snow
tires. They are absolutely required here. Lordy, remember
tire/tyre chains??
Off for a chicken dinner at Swiss Chalet.........keep warm.
