Happy holidays and have a great 2014

Just wanted to bring a greeting to my friends here at the forum.
Hope you all are well and that winter treats you good.

What is this "winter" of which you speak?

The five inches of snow on my jeep is the winter he speeks of, and the temputure of -3 degree's outside.

Mmm, chilly. There are populated parts of the east coast of Australia that have hit 49 degrees C (120 degrees F) this week. Admittedly that is unusual unless you're in the desert.

Obviously outdoor Christmas activities have a very different vibe here.

Set a record yesterday at -20.8C for daytime high.... wee bit chilly for us Canadians... I actually had to put on a jacket when I went outside.

Then I just click on this website and think of all those poor fools who never get to enjoy the cold...

OK, -20C is around -5F. Yeah, that's a bit on the cold side for a high. Here in WI if it gets below 0F, you're allowed to gripe about it being cold. Where I am, the forecast for Monday gives us a high of -11F (-24C). It's January; you gotta expect it at least once or twice.

Heh, the Fort Lauderdale site. Just last night I saw an article about some town in Florida cancelling an event because of "bitter cold". I had no idea 50 degrees (10C) qualified as "bitter cold". I always thought 50 degrees meant you might want to bring a sweatlacket in case it cools down after sunset. ;)
