What then LOL? I think I'll be ready for the looney-bin.<br /><br />Seriously, buy A* a remote car starter. I cannot tell you how gratifying it is.<br /><br />Hi Robin, we're, uh, surviving! Made it through the last round of snow, eyeing the forecast and saying a prayer to the weather gods. Hope you're keeping well!Shim Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148782353052767022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136541991481312371.post-70725943231095155922013-02-11T00:14:01.186-05:002013-02-11T00:14:01.186-05:00How is the weather treating you up there?

Mind you, th...Hi Ron, I knew you'd sympathize! Mind you, this morning it was only -19C, which is an exponential improvement over -28. We ice-fished as kids. Grew up on the Saint-Lawrence on a nice little bay full of sunnies. On good years, the ice would flash-freeze and you could see the fish under your feet. Those were good years! Now, you couldn't get me out on the ice for all the money in the world!<br /><br />Hi Robin! I know just how you feel in your old, partly uninsulated, drafty, unfinished (need I go on?) house. The upside is when your work is done, you'll be more than toasty warm. Hang in there. Thankfully, the forecast shows much warmer temps for a few days. And then we just need to make it through February, and we'll nearly be there...<br /><br />Hope you're feeling well ~ take it easy!<br /><br />AnnShim Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148782353052767022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136541991481312371.post-61027090962439861792013-01-25T19:28:39.938-05:002013-01-25T19:28:39.938-05:00I've never been in a snow flurry.

I felt like complaining because weather in the high 20s at night is not something I enjoy in a leaky house. You have me beat though. I can't even imagine being in weather that cold.

I experienced such things occasionally in Minnesota, and it's painful.<br /><br />Beautiful scenery in your photos, though. <br /><br />I miss being out on the lake on a winter day, fishing for sunnies through the ice. If we still lived up there, I'd have built or bought me a nice fish house.Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630929746033282061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136541991481312371.post-81247702129139905252013-01-24T22:57:01.525-05:002013-01-24T22:57:01.525-05:00Well, if you did grow up on the prairies, you have...Well, if you did grow up on the prairies, you have credibility! But like we say in Montreal - ahhh, it's a dry cold out west! Here, it's so damp and damn cold we're checking on the forecast every few hours, hoping for a break that's days away! <br /><br />The squeaky crunch drives me nuts, as does the sound of planes overhead when it's -20. Like nails on a chalkboard. Give me slush and rubber boots any day! <br /><br />We'll have this post-glacial crap in April at the rate we're going, and you'll be posting about harvesting your first radishes LOL! Your daffs will have wilted, as will your peonies! We'll still be shoveling, wondering why we're living in this infernal climate!<br /><br />Count your blessings!<br /><br />That said and done, I do enjoy the variety the seasons affords us, I just wish the variance wouldn't cover 70 degrees.Shim Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148782353052767022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136541991481312371.post-9822982265258992752013-01-24T22:47:15.947-05:002013-01-24T22:47:15.947-05:00I recognize that as an inhabitant of Lotus Land I ...I recognize that as an inhabitant of Lotus Land I have no credibility when it comes to cold, but I DID grow up on the prairies, and what I miss is the squeaky dry crunch of snow underfoot. We don't get that here. Ever. Sloppy gush underfoot, on the other hand - we get a lot of that...Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04500606532723836054noreply@blogger.com
