Glad that I deleted my question: did you hear it? :lol: :lol:

We feel for you in that brutal cold, Igor.
Good you've got lots of snow or plant losses would be numerous.

I hope cold like that never comes this way again, that kind of cold is good for nothing but ice-cubes. :x

Hang in there, spring is only 3 months away. :lol:

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Barb,
I noticed that our weather stickers are almost always the same in winter. I even think you maybe a bit warmer. :D

Well, shiver my timbers, I think you're right.
But I want your gulf stream, OK?

Phew...Aaaron, just in time :lol:

A Cdn weather agency just released that 15 of the last 16 summers have been hotter.
I think they only started counting 16 years ago...
