Amazing weather

[Evil Chris]

The winters here in Montreal aren't as bad as people let on. The permanent snow starts end-December and then it's a white world until about mid-March.

Sure we get 2 or 3 bad blizzards, but snow removal here is as quick and professional as it is anywhere in the world. Car buried?? Never happens. What gets to you about the cold weather is having to put on a big coat and boots every time you go out.

The rest is easy... and actually enjoyable.

That's a filthy lie and you know it.

All of you who want winter, come and take it away, it's all yours.

what Chris doesnt mention is the 30 to 60 days of limb loosing temperature we get... 5 minutes outside and you loose an ear... ten more, and its the nose...

You are a true Quebecer. If you couldn't have the weather to complain about, it would be the loss of the Expos, or the Habs, or possibly "les square heads"...

Our cold snap in late January lasts no more than 2 weeks. Remember that most of the people who live in Florida who complain about snow have lily white skin.

Oooh. Great use of the language!

I grew up on Connecticut and remember winters where four feet of snow fell. Where this small girl fell on ice and shredded her palms and knees into hamburger. I *hate* cold. I *hate* ice. (Oh, sure it's pretty when it turns the leafless trees into glass sculptures in the sunlight...but it also manages to turn the streets into deathtraps.) Snow is pretty...but not pretty enough. I remember walking three feet above the surface of the backyard on the frozen top of the snow and suddenly hitting that spot where one foot went through. I'd stand their sobbing until my mother came out to rescue me. (I was wittle when I did this.)

I do miss fall color in New England, though. I've never seen anything like it.
