My grandfather was born in Quebec, did most of his growing up in Ontario and moved with his family to BC. That was about 100 years ago 
.
On the way west, they stayed in Manitoba for a winter. He said that they had to exit the house by way of the 2nd story window. I don't know how long that lasted but they were real happy to get to Vancouver.

Wow I am happy to see Canada is back.
I like going to BC sight seeing in the summer, and skiing in the winter. Canadians are some of the best people. But I need to get my passport to go to Canada, all of a sudden Canada is like some foreign country. I know it actually is, but Canada and the USA are more like brothers. I think after 911 it was mostly if not all the USA's doing.

it was like -15 c. (5 f)rainbowgardener wrote:Don't feel bad, that's what Cincinnati has looked a lot this winter too. Too bad the thermometer got cut off in the picture. It looks like it is probably pointing at minus 10. Oh that is degrees C. That's 14 deg F or so. It is colder than that here right now with wind chill. Not just Canada!
but.. its cold in the u.s? how do the lions and tigers down there survive the winter?!
and, google has a doodle about canada: https://www.google.ca/#ct=anniversary-o ... 63+%C2%B0C

as in all those Lions in Detroit? boyo howdy does it get cold down here! . Some of our recent days, Cincinnati has been colder than Alaska. We have another winter storm [predicted to be a major ice storm] coming this afternoon and I'm likely to be driving in it, since I'm at work now.
And by Monday night next week we are back to having negative degrees F in the forecast! Come on, it's February already. Some years I have planted stuff in the ground in (late) February.
Smoke?!
I tried to follow what was happening in our last snowstorm here. It never seemed to quit thru a day with a high of something like 12 degrees Fahrenheit. Most of the snow fell during the hours of single digitS'.
There was a total of 5 inches of snow. Moisture? .1 inch. Yes, .25 centimeters of water.
The roads were terrible for a time! It has not been above freezing for a good long while. I think things may be better now. Portland's storm is passing south of us. No melting but those 5" have just kinda disappeared into what was already here.
