Yesterday I didn't need a jacket; today it's snowing

x( :grr: :cry:






:wtf: doesn't apply, as it's Alberta...:nopity:

1. You can borrow my

tuque...

:hug:

One way or another, I'll keep you warm... :loveya:

[u4ic]

4. It's great to see you!

:hug: :loveya:

You're a rarity round these parts lately.


I'd love the use of the tuque, I just hope you can throw really, really far...:silly:


You'll keep me warm, huh? If you bring the fire, I'll bring the






:D

[ForrestGump]

9. Oh, baby...don't worry...

I'll bring the fire.



Hunka hunka.



I'd go a million miles for one of your...um..truffles. :D

And I'm still working on a Fiendish Plot that may prove far more fiendish than the fiendish Canadian plot that introduced me to the wonder of Bernard. :-)

:hug:

[u4ic]

17. Will it go down in history as the Great Fiendish Plot of 2007?

We know you've got the trenchcoat and the tuque for it (all fiendish plots need a tuque, never mind a GREAT one)...of course you'll need a thin, David Niven-y moustache for it, and pointy arched brows. (I can loan you the latter if your tweezers are in the shop...)

I think this Great Fiendish Plot may also need subtitles. :D

11. Now I want Espresso Truffles from Bernard Callebaut.

One of his shops is about 3 minutes from my house. Too bad it's closed.

[u4ic]

12. The one on 102 Ave?

I used to live a half a block from that shop, right on the corner of 123rd & 102nd. Blissful times, they were. :D

I've met about 4 people in the past month who've worked there at some point in time (but don't now). I'm told they get lots of delicious perks.


Manon is my favourite, though I love them all. :9

[QMPMom]

20. Yup, that's the one. I am going to go there very soom and have a

truffle or two and then have a gelato chaser from the shop next door to Callebaut's.

[ironflange]

19. I'll bring this

[u4ic]

21. I think this is the thread you're looking for...

2. Maybe it will bury the snow mould

and give you a few days of relief :hi:

[u4ic]

5. It'll just create more!

x(


How are you today, m'friend?

[Guava Jelly]

7. I am doing good

Taking a few minutes off of working to play here.
I'm sorry about the crappy weather :hug:
Besides all the snow i hope you are having a good day.
:D

[u4ic]

8. Now it's sunny out!

Alberta...if you don't like the weather out your front door, look out your back. :crazy:


I'm doing good; the cold seems to be settling down a bit, which is nice. I'm going to watch some theatre today, and the last thing they need is someone sneezing up a lung in the audience. :P

Have a great one yourself! :hug:

[Droopy]

3. It is like that in the American west as well

I'm hoping it will stay warm here in Ohio and turn all of that snow into rain.

[u4ic]

6. I thought spring had sprung...

It had been beautiful the past 10 days or so...all the snow accumulated since October had melted.

My nephew's birthday is May 20, and I can remember at least twice in the past decade that it's snowed here on that day.



I should have known...never officially say it's "spring" till at least July... :crazy:

[QMPMom]

10. Yeah, I nearly froze when we were in Sherwood Park today.

Shivering at the Canadian Tire, what a fun way to spend part of Saturday.

I was talking to the snow earlier in the day when it was falling, telling it exactly what I thought of it.

Can't wait until mid-May! Then we may be safe from the evil stuff. Maybe.

I do remember it snowing on August 19, 1992. I had just had surgery and woke up and looked out the window and saw snow. I looked at the TV in my hospital room and saw a hurricane. I decided I was going to get to the bottom of this confusing situation, so I called my Dad, long distance collect, to have him explain why there was now on one side of my room and a hurricane on the other. (I guess making a local call to my husband at his parent's house was too simple.)

I was stoned out of my mind on morphine.

After Dad stopped laughing, he explained it to me. It was Hurricane Andrew slamming Florida on CNN. He didn't know anything about the snow as he was 2500 miles away, but he cleared up the Hurricane for me.

I love morphine.

[u4ic]

13. LOL

about your experience, not about the hurricane.

Somehow that snowfall slipped my memory, which is dodgy at the best of times.

As you can see from my posts, within an hour it cleared and was sunny - don't know about Sherwood Park, though - but the wind was fairly strong.


Ugh...Cruddy Tire makes me shiver at the best of times, never mind in winter. :P

[Whoa_Nelly]

14. Time for you to book a flight to CA

Come on down...the weather is fine...am ready to start using the pool! (yes..I have a pool...:woohoo: )

[u4ic]

15. w00000000000t!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

You, m'friend, have the best ideas!!! :hug: :loveya:

[Whoa_Nelly]

16. then get the fuk down here already!

[grannylib]

18. The same thing happens here in Minnesota; we've had temperature

swings of 50 degrees or more from one day to the next. Last week we set a record with 80 degrees F in March, and it was dry and sunny and gorgeous, and now it's cold and rainy and pretty mucky.

[u4ic]

25. Eighty degrees in March?

in Minnesota? :wow:


Weather swings are not unusual here at all...they're just a pain. Especially when you've had a very long, frigid winter, and you look forward to spring only to have your hopes dashed (temporarily). :(

[grannylib]

28. Yessirree, 80+. And yes, it's disappointing as hell to have it go back to

normal temps and know that REAL spring is still a ways off!

But it's been warm enough to start many plants sprouting very early; my lilies are all up, and normally they don't even start to peek out until late April/early May...
I can't wait until frost danger is past and I can really start cleaning out the garden and getting some things done!

[In_The_Wind]

22. You are always welcomed here.

:hi: :loveya:

[u4ic]

24. Hi Joan!!

:bounce: :hug: :loveya:



I can't tell you how tempting that offer is...:hi:

[SPKrazy]

23. I'd Loan You A Beaver

but I see you already have one...


:shrug:


:hug:

warm thoughts!

[Xipe Totec]

26. You're just trying to make me jealous

you know how I love snow...

[u4ic]

27. It's gone already!

The sun came out a couple of hours after I posted.

Today was chilly, and it'll be sub zero (C) temps for the next few days - the low going into the double digits. :-(
