Only 12 More Sleeps.....

As you can see, it looks like we might have a white Christmas here in southern Ontario. I have heard it said, but don't want to believe it, that we headed for the coldest, snowiest (?) winter in 15 years! I tell you it can get pretty cold and snowy here most winters so that is not a happy prospect. AND the snow is beginning to make me feel a tiny bit of Christmas panic, because as you can imagine the white stuff doesn't make searching for a parking spot, or rushing from mall to mall in search of those elusive gifts any easier. OMG I really am turning into an old scrooge as the years go by..........happy and safe holidays everyone!

On the other side of the Atlantic GWE is off to France for a few days to meet the roofer for the "project" or should I say "projet". He gets all the fun stuff, although it does involve an eight hour car journey from Germany through Switzerland to France, some more back breaking "landscaping" and then all the way back next week so he can fly back home for Christmas. On second thoughts, what pretty snowflakes......

I have a girlfriend in Guelph who told me today that it was snowing and snowing there...she blamed it on the Alberta clipper - but we haven't had snow here in quite some time!

As for the cold! Yep - it's cold....some days - it's worse than cold.....

Don't you love the four seasons??

Hi, we dont get snow here until the end of January. But we have had heavy snow (well, not by Canadian standards, I sure), for the last 3 years. I love having proper seasons here, back in the UK it was all one big mushy season with some bits a bit warmer than others.

Aims - I love seeing the change of the seasons, but must admit, I could do with this one changing sooner rather than later, I think snow should just be on the slopes as in California!!

Debra - welcome - yep snow at the end of January and hopefully gone by March - that's my kind of winter. Looking forward to it. When we were there in mid-November, it was frostier than we had yet experienced here this year but we are making up for it now.
