Could be even worse... we had so much rain some of the water catchments filled up to 100% in a matter of 1 week. For anyone that doesnt know Australia has been drought for A-G-E-S. Some parts of australia received 2 years wort of rain in 1 month.
 
Swap you some rain for 37C and 40% humidity :P
nick-nack I saw that on the news, poor buggers had drought then their homes got flooded.
 
Well i don't see any white in your pics so it can't be that bad, lol.
I just finished shovelling the (2 car) driveway, snow was up to my knees.
And that was just a light overnight snowfall.

A friend of mine just moved to Vancouver and she keeps telling me how she expected it to be warm and summerlike there by now.
I think she knows shes expecting too much after all its still Canada, albeit the mildest part.
Its kinda overly optimistic to expect BC in February to be like southern California!
She spent her whole life in southern and central Ontario so a Vancouver winter has got to be milder than what she experienced before.
I'd still take an Atlantic Canada winter over southern Ontario's. Personally I found Ontario winters to be bitterly cold and dry.
The one thing i did like about them was that they are a lot shorter though , lol.
 
:thumbup:That's a nice pic of you and your son. (and pooch)
Man, I feel for all the divorced Dads out there that can't spend a lot of time with their kids.:grumpy: That just ain't right.
 
North Dakota. Minus 38 with wind gusts to 66 MPH. Can't feel for ya.:) Have seen nothing green since we took out the Xmas tree.
 
Past couple of weeks at -40 Celcius with wind chill and you are complaining of rain:rolleyes: I guess that is why you are referred to as living in lotusland:D
BC people- I'll never get them:confused:

Could be worse though= I spend all day at home!

What knife did Pit Jr get??
 
I see some carabinners there... done any climbing, abseiling or something? Nice pictures.

Rain in winter does suck, sucks big time if it happens here in Northwestern ontario during winter. Better to save it for fire season. It's -30C this morning and I like the icy clean air with the bright sunshine blazing down through deep blue skies.

If one is prepared, with a good wood pile and proper winter clothing winter is a joy.

Bug season and fire season come around soon enough in these parts and lasts for far too long, I will enjoy the peace and quiet of winter for now
 
It was a beautiful 75 degrees in phoenix this weekend. My blood has thinned out so much I would die in cold temps. I really don't miss those Canadian winters.

nice pics and a happy b-day to your youngen.

Yeah I know the weather ain't really bad I guess but I prefer snow and much colder temps to mild rainy days. At least when it's cold you can dress for it but when it's rainy and warm there ain't no clothes yet developed that will keep you dry without making you sweat ( although some are getting closer ).
What bugged me yesterday was that I checked all the weather forecasts and there was no mention of rain !!!
Pit Jr didn't get a knife for his birthday, the last one he got was an Ontario TAK for christmas. Unlike me he has a little sense and says that as he now has his TAK, Mora and a Vic SAK as his edc's why does he need another knife !!!
