Some of you will be happy

[Pamelajo]

to hear Ontario has finally taken back our weather from you.
We are officially having winter.
Snowing everyday this week and cold.

And I was really enjoying your weather.

[CACAdmin]

Well, you didn't really expect to escape winter entirely, did you? After a few soggy warm days here on the west coast, we've got sunshine and cooler temps... dropping down just below freezing at night. But nothing like what you're dealing with. The only thing with the nighttime lows dipping below the freezing mark is that when the next storm blows in we risk getting more of that 'white stuff'... Yuck! It only belongs on the mountains and in Ontario! :DevilGrin: (sorry, couldn't resist!)

Let's hope all of us get an early spring.:smile:

[Pamelajo]

:( :P
Last night was nasty for driving, had to pick my daughter up 1/2 hr from our house. Here it was not too bad here but the next two towns were miserable just about slid through three intersections, no ice just snow. Thank god for abs and 4 wheel drive. Of course not a sander or plough to be seen. Hubby is away snowmobiling so could even send him.
Today it is above 0 again and everything is melting so if it turns cold over night we are going to have a mess tomorrow.

[CACAdmin]

I hope it stays above 0 tonight for your sake. Otherwise everything becomes a skating rink. That's the scenerio we usually deal with here whenever we get snow. (It usually keeps dipping above and below the freezing mark.) It it turns cold overnight, I hope you can stay home (or at least off the roads) tomorrow.

[Melody]

Be careful out there Pam!

Mr. CACAdmin - send that poor girl her longjohns back!

[Pamelajo]

Thanks Mel. Just have to take Steph to work five minutes down the street. Tank cleaning day tomorrow, so that should keep me indoors for a couple of hours.
Yes those longjohns would come in handy now.
Mel Dad's wife has a website now with some pics of the farm/horses. It is still under construction so the links on the page are not working yet.
Here is the address if you want to take a look:

What? you want them back? :DevilGrin: But what if it gets cold here again? I'll freeze. :Holiday-1::nah: OK. Maybe not but I'm a wimp... anything below 5C is too cold!:laugh:
BTW, nice pics of your Dad's place... but from the looks of it, if you visit again this winter you just might need those longjohns. :Holiday-1:

Drive safely tomorrow!

I don't suppose he'd leave his wife for me? LOL That's just where I'm going to end up one of these days. Nice hobby ranch in the middle of nowhere, me & an internet connection.

Absolutely beautiful and she's doing a nice job on the site too. Thanks for passing the link along - made me homesick but I truly enjoyed it :smile: .

[Pamelajo]

:Holiday-1: Glad you liked it, I did promise you some pics.
Okay I have had enough of snow now. Today ended up going into work and then had to come home to take Steph work and take myself back to work. Very slippery has not stopped snowing all day. And the next 2 days is calling for more.:cry:
I really regretting giving you back your weather.

[CACAdmin]

Only one solution... move here to 'Lotusland' :DevilGrin:(like I did 36 years ago)... OMG I can't believe it's that many years ago.:rolleyes:

[Melody]

I was two when you moved here....lol.

Ms. Pamelajo, be careful out there!

[CACAdmin]

I was two when you moved here....lol.

Ms. Pamelajo, be careful out there!

What are you trying to say? that I'm old???:mad: I hate to tell you but I'm never going to get old. :nah: (Age is just a number... I'm still just a big kid at heart.:twitcy: )

And yes, Ms. Pamelajo, do please be careful... stay safe!

[Melody]

Of course you're not old, or that would make me middle aged, which cannot be the case.

[Pamelajo]

Of course you're not old, or that would make me middle aged,

Ditto
No CAC your definitely not old. Infact your so00 young that Mel and I are still both 29.

[Melody]

I love you Pam :laugh:

[Pamelajo]

:laugh:

[Pamelajo]

We got to see the sun today, :notworthy: forgot what it looked like and no new snow. But chilly tonight.

[Melody]

Yup, I had to hold a box due to your weather in fact. Its supposed to warm up by Wednesday though so I can ship tomorrow. By the time it gets to Ontario it will have warmed up :smile: .

O/T, but while I'm thinking of it, what are your temp limits for heat packs? The belly of a plane gets so much colder in the air and the boxes are often outside at night waiting to be loaded so I don't like to ship at anything below -10 to -15. Even then I either use huge ones or double them up. Some people in the States have a limit of -5 but that pretty much rules out Canadian Winter shipping all together...lol.

[Fugu]

word is that we may get snow on the island this week.Maby,well in the air they said.

[Pamelajo]

I may just show up on someone's doorstep out there! Been -20 or lower in the mornings earlier this week. We were at -6 during the day today, but the wind goes right through you.

[Danzig]

this past may i recently moved back to lethbridge, alberta after spending 2 yrs in owen sound ontario.
i must say the 4" of snow i have to shovel here is pretty welcoming compared to when i was in ontario and having to shovel 4ft of snow out of my driveway just to go to work.
1 thing is for sure, now being landlocked, come summer im sure going to miss Wasaga beach.

[Pamelajo]

You'll be glad your not there now, they have got a ton of snow. Kids out of school for a week.
My Dad lives in Hanover which is not too far from there. I was born in Collingwood, but am now near Niagara Falls.

[Witchlight]

we missed whatever you got....only about 2 inches.
nothing closed here.

[Pamelajo]

Here it is just flurries for the last couple of days. But in Owen Sound one day this week the only thing that was open was the town hall.

[Melody]

I guess I shouldn't mention that we hit +12c here this week huh?

OUCH!!!! Stop throwing algae wafers at me!!!! MOD'S!!!!:laugh:

[CACAdmin]

I do hope the deep-freeze doesn't last too long. Would love to stay and chat but as it's 12C here already and sunny, I'm heading out to enjoy the nice weather. :BOLTS:

[Pamelajo]

:FishOnDaHead:

[CACAdmin]

OUCH! I know, Ms. Pamelajo, I had that coming. I just couldn't resist. It's a good thing, I'm on the other side of the country or you might be tossing snowballs... or worse... maybe even chunks of ice at me. UC, I can't give my sister a bad time, she's decided to depart shortly for Florida to escape the frigid Ontario winter.

I went for a walk around the neighborhood. Do I dare tell you that (although nothing is in bloom yet of course), the daffodils and tulips are up (ranging 3-5 inches in height)... spring is just around the corner. :DevilGrin: :BOLTS:

[Pamelajo]

I may show up on your doorstep if your not careful, with a whole cooler of snowballs!

[Melody]

I may show up on your doorstep if your not careful, with a whole cooler of snowballs!


He's a bachelor Pam, a gorgeous creature like yourself showing up on his doorstep is not a bad thing, even armed :Flowers3: .

[CACAdmin]

...and you're arriving, when? ;)

[Pamelajo]

:rolleyes: Guess I best be careful what I threaten him with then.

[Pamelajo]

Just got home awhile ago from my nephew's hockey game and can't get warm, Heat is at 72 and I am sitting here with a big turtleneck sweater, jeans and my big fuzzy housecoat on.
Talked to Dad today and they have 1 metre of snow. One of the horses walked over the top rail of the pasture. He was the only brave enough to venture out that far. The rest have been hanging out in the run in.
CAC that would mean I would have to leave the house again. I could send the snowballs in dry ice to Mel and have her throw them at you

[Melody]

lol The word 'husband' cools them down faster than snow any day... well... most of them anyway :laugh:

[Pamelajo]

:laugh:

[CACAdmin]

lol The word 'husband' cools them down faster than snow any day

Yup! You got that right!:swoon:

I'm sure that would amuse her. But she'd probably only do it if you sent some snails or fish as a bribe.:laugh: (I hope :wideeyed: )

[Pamelajo]

But she'd probably only do it if you sent some snails or fish as a bribe.
That could be arranged.

[Melody]

Oh nooooo, I'd do that out of the kindness of my heart for my good friend Pam. :Angel:

[Pamelajo]

;) :laugh:

[CACAdmin]

:Eek: (:secret: she would do it, Ms. Pamelajo... I'm sure of it). Women! I now have two cohorts in crime (one of whom is, on the other side of the country) who have it in for me. Sheesh! :wideeyed: Now where's the 'White Truce Flag' smilie Melody? How can I declare a truce when you haven't provided me with an appropriate emoticon?:twitcy:

[Pamelajo]

:DevilGrin: :DevilGrin: :DevilGrin: :DevilGrin:
You can't be talking about me and Mel we're :Angel: 's

[Melody]

Jay, Check your e-mail....lol.

[Melody]

:DevilGrin: :DevilGrin: :DevilGrin: :DevilGrin:
You can't be talking about me and Mel we're :Angel: 's

He means OTHER women I'm sure. :WhoMe:

Besides, everyone knows that :DevilGrin:ish women are the most fun.... if somewhat challenging. ;)

[Pamelajo]

:D Hey Mel, I have lots of time of my hands with hubby away snowmobiling, so are you up to causing some havoc?:laugh: :DevilGrin: :laugh:

[Melody]

LOL <Hands Pam a glass of Cider> If there's one thing worse than an impish woman, its an impish woman after a drink or two :laugh: .

[CACAdmin]

:Eek: I know when I'm done for! Typical! I say there's no :Surrender:and so she goes off and gets me one. So now I have no alternative but to delacare :Surrender:.:swoon:
:Angel:s, hmm, can I talk to your hubby when he gets back, Ms. Pamelajo? :err: I need some (male) moral support here. (And they talk about defenseless females!:rolleyes: )

[Melody]

ROFL I'll give you that one - he...er.... the place below hath no fury & all that.

[Pamelajo]

Yummm Apple cider.
Well Mel, what do you think should we honour his truce? But then that would take all our fun away.

[Melody]

I think we should do as any woman worth anything would do....

Make 'em sweat while we discuss it. ;)

[Pamelajo]

:laugh: :yes:

[CACAdmin]

... and I chose to have a woman as my co-Admin. :err: What was I thinking? I know the solution... it may not be Xmas but...:Holiday-17:

[Melody]

Ya know, I'm surprised you're not married with that kind of understanding of females :laugh: .

[Pamelajo]

I'm surprised you're not married with that kind of understanding of females

Ditto

[CACAdmin]

:Think:Understand women? :Dunno:I try but :nah: I'm also quite capable of opening my mouth and putting both feet in it... especially with women. :Blush: As for marriage... been there, done that... kinda got used the the single life after all these years.
