The honeymoon is over.

[observer]

Think our lovely weather has gone south, and we're in for some very cold days ahead! Aaarrgghhh!

[retired2]

Thats what a honeymoon is for-- to keep you warm

[gale force]

I think we are going to be very fortunate down here - only 1 cool day on Friday. I'm deliberately not stating temperatures because I don't want anyone to get upset with me. LOL

[observer]

Good plan gale - could get REALLY upset! LOL

.I feel sorry for you sweltering in that heat. Its just beginning to cool off here finally.

[observer]

So, we have Rick, who's happy to see the oncoming cold; and Gale - who has already escaped that cold. How is everyone else dealing with our oncoming Canadian winter? Personally, I'm shopping on line for some warm weather getaways!

I'm shopping for winter tires. No trip till May

[Rick Wisson]

I just had a set of Blizzaks installed.

[observer]

Watched the pretty flakes descend today - from inside my well heated house! Eat your hearts out gale and kishgo. It was SO PRETTY!

They make Blizzak tires for bikes???

Don't know if they do, but I just hibernated my bicycle for the winter, I just put shy of 1100 klicks on it this season. I also tuned up my grass and put it to sleep for the winter.

Ba humbug. I guess beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Well that was a wasted effort today. Went to crappytire, asked for price on michlin tires on sale at 25% off. Sorry that was a miss print in the flyer. Asked for a price anyway. Running 19 inch tired for summer but wanted 17 inch for winter because 19s are way to pricie. They could not do the conversion so I would get the same over all size. I knew the size but wanted them to verify that I was right. They could not do it so I walked out saying I would go to a tire store who had experts on staff. Rick -- where did you get your Blizzaks???

[kishgo]

Snow is so lovely...to look at!
Kind of weird though. We hear all the 'winter' traditional Christmas music as we go about our day at the pool or shopping in summer clothes. One day I'll be back for the winter scenes but not just yet.
Not sweltering either LOL!

I have one question. If Retired is retired why is he waiting until now to get snow tires quoted and installed?

Just askin'

[retired2]

I move slow and waiting for a sale

[observer]

Don't think the wedding had ended when Buffalo's honeymoon was over. Have you seen any pictures of the snowfall there??? YE GADS!!!

[Rick Wisson]

Haven't seen pictures , heard their near the 4 ft mark, and here we just got a dusting to day .

Same question here!

[observer]

Totally different day today. We're getting a very slow melt here - which is good. Haven't heard yet if Buffalo is faring as well!

[Rick Wisson]

Apparently not good, with the snow soaking up rain more weight , more roof collapses. Kinda glad I live in a banana belt.

[observer]

Well, we USED to live in a banana belt anyway. Got a really great "shock" last Sunday talking to my sister in London - where they had NO SNOW - while I was watching it fall on the deck outside my kitchen door!

[observer]

Everybody make out OK with the melt? No water in basements anywhere?
