As much as I hate snow & winter, We're doing the opposite, leaving Sunday for New England, hope the weather cooperates.

Snowing lightly here in Calgary now but moreso north and west of the city. Shorts and suntanning yesterday and parkas and freezing today. Supposed to be back to suntan weather by the weekend.

Looking forward to retirement and getting outta Florida. Too crowded in winter and way too hot and humid in summer. 358 days left but whose counting.

Late Sept my finger tips turn white and the old damaged frostbite starts. RV is already packed by then and just waiting. Being foreigners we can only stay 182 days..(we bring our own money and don't want a job)
so we try and leave late so we can have less snow when we come back in April.
-35C, frozen broken sewer lines and water pipes are not my idea of retirement. Lolling about in Florida is more to my liking.

Last year we were running out of places to pile the snow. The fella next door started piling snow on our property in December.
According to the "old folk"...Mmmmmm! Just thinking how old are old folk? I will have to soon say "as us old folk" Anyway...apparently we are to have a much colder winter than last year.

Wow, Loulou...any more good news you can bring us :)

Expect the worse...you won't be disappointed....LOL!

We expect the snow here. Really if you look back years we get nothing compared to them. I remember 1976, the snow plow got stuck on our road for a week. They brought in this blower that nobody had seen the likes of. You could walk across the top of the snow and touch the telephone wires. The neighbours made sleigh to pull behind sleds so we could get water and food to people. We had water freeze solid in bowl overnight in the kitchen. We have become soft, now if we have to pile snow over our head we complain.
