I'm officially over winter.

There is really only one way to avoid it entirely and remain in Canada....

Yes, but committing suicide is a rather drastic response.  ;)
:D

CC, British Colombia a is nice (visited a long time ago) but I'm aiming for Australia. Then I can bitch about the heat :lol:

Nope. :cool:  Everything thawed and no sign of any leakage.  Cal = lucky.

Nice, yeah i think i'm running 50% success rate of no pipes bursting from frozen pipes (like 4 times in last 12 years i've been here :P )

Luckily the pipes in my place are buried coming in and well insulated inside - never had a problem even in -40 weather.  Of course the water main out under the street 40 feet away has burst a couple of times in the last decade, but that is small potatoes compared to my stuff.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

This old house has no foundation so pipes are in attic, on the plus side I won't ever not know if the pipes burst :lol:

As much as I enjoyed my trip there, I wouldnt want to live there.  Those folks are going to run out of water sooner than LA.  And the extreme weather events are getting worse.

The top two inches of snow under the Polar Vortex are caused entirely by North Americans throwing cups of boiling water in the air.

Eew, we're actually getting wintery weather next week.

We're having unseasonably warm, crazy even, weather. Right now (8 am) it's +8c, though that's decreasing to +4c later, together with high winds.

Anyways, apparently the high winds mean our LRT isn't working. WTF?

So I've been stuck on an overcrowded bus for the last half hour not going anywhere. This is terrible.

That's even the same colour as my Tacoma. :(

I started taking the bus two weeks ago to save money. Serves me right.

One and a half hours into my commute I'm half way, but finally got onto a working train. :w00t:
