It was soooooo cold...

Silly Illinois. I'm, what, 150 miles north? More snow, still school.

...must be the Canadian influence.

Indeed...I'm going to the store to pick up a 12 of the Molson's Canadian just so I can brace myself up for the snow shoveling...

ps: That was a clever ploy that you Canadians tried...sending the Molson's Golden down here first while you were keeping the Canadian to yourselves but we're on to your little game now...

PPS: ...and you know that you're an Xsmarkser when you're standing outside after shoveling a ship-load of snow and find yourself saying, "That was thirsty work...I could use a cold beer right now..."

That just sounds Canadian to me...

Just back from a Caribbean cruise, on which more than once - in and near Florida - we encountered temperatures that were lower than what we experienced today at home in snowbound Edmonton. The weirdness of climate change.

But I remember only one snow day in my youth, in Grade 1, when we were sent home after standing outside for a long while watching the custodian try to dig his way to the rear entrance, which was completely blocked - only the very top of one of the double doors was visible. The roofed front entrance was clear, but fire regulations demanded another exit.
