Winter

[stuey]

...sneaked in under the cover of darkness last night. It's minus 21C with the wind chill. Guess I'll be wearing me big coat on the trek over the field later on...Brrrrr!

[ladyalex]

Gosh, that sounds cold.
Whereabouts are you?
The son-and-heir is in Vancouver at the moment and tells me that have had snow there.

[shoota]

Or you could stay at home and drink tea....

[stuey]

Usually, Vancouver is quite mild compared with other parts of the country. I'll be drinking tea when I get home:)

[stuey]

Ladyalex, the Toronto area.

[Tilly2]

Put your hat on as well, Stuey. The one with the ear flaps.

[stuey]

You know what, Tilly? I never wear a hat. Mrs stuey says I'm crazy...She could be right.

[tonyav]

Get the snow shoes out, stuey.

[stuey]

No snow to speak of. We got about 4" a few days ago, but the mild weather and rain got rid of most of it.

[Tilly2]

.....well, your scarf then!

[ladyalex]

I thought it must be a bit chilly elsewhere if there was snow in Vancouver......please put your hat on Stuey. Don't want your ears to break off.

[stuey]

I wrap a scarf around my face up to eye-level.

[Tilly2]

Do you have hair, Stuey?

[stuey]

Unfortunately, not a great deal of it:)

[Tilly2]

I bet you're the only person walking around without a hat on.

[stuey]

Actually hat wearers are in the minority, believe it or not. That may sound strange, but it's a fact. Obviously, people working outside usually wear one. But for just gallivanting around town, no.

[Tilly2]

I do believe you, Stuey. Hats mess your hair up!

When we went to Quebec for Christmas, a few years ago, everyone was wearing hats.

[stuey]

The nice thing is that the sun is shining, and we've gained 11 minutes of daylight since Dec 21st and it increases by about a minute per day...Great news!

[stuey]

Sunset today is 4:52pm.

[Tilly2]

Yes, Spring's on it's way! Sloooooowly
