    Don't know but I don't care! Calling for 50's this weekend!

    On the other hand, whatching the weather this morning (3am) looked like nearly the whole country was in the low 40's and under except the gulf coast.

                  funny you should say that...yesterday it was warm enough for some bugs to re-appear...got a few splats on the windscreen too...so my guess is FL has bugs all year round too.

                    Missouri is in deparate straights for water. The Missouri and the Mississippi are so low that the river are begging the local dogs to come p** in the water. I saw a hydrant chase a dog down the street here yesterday. I'd feel a lot better if I saw my neighbor building a ark in his back yard.

                      Yes we do, not too bad where I'm at, far worse out in rural areas. Winshield gets most of them. Goin' down to 68 tonite, Brrrr.

                        Hi Max,
                        winter is alive and well and living in Saskatoon. Today's high minus7ºC dropping to minus12ºC overnight.
                        City main streets clear, side streets snowcovered. Provincial highways snowcovered and slippery.
                        We are seeing a highway collision or rollover death about every second day caused by fools who don't understand that tires don't grip on ice like they do on blacktop.

                              We've set an all time record up here...

                              there has never been this much snow on the ground - as of the 7th day of January - since they began keeping weather records.

                              Nice to get in the record books but, I can think of better ways than for the accumulation of SNOW!

                              How much, you ask? Well, I've got about 2 feet of the crap sitting on the top of the roof of my new shed.

                              I'll be joining you folks down south next year... I've had enough of winter!
