Patiently waiting until April

What is that white stuff? It comes from the sky? Weird.
Anyway, it was 91F here yesterday with cooling to the high 80's today...

Thank you for letting me know how nice it is down there…I appreciate that!
We have our own heat wave moving in this weekend with +11C forecast!
All the white stuff will be gone and I can enjoy one final road trip before winter storage next week...

I'm also stuck in dead-boring summer all year long place (lowest 10-15degree Dec~March here). I could trade this for the good old Canadian winter and SNOW anytime! Really missing snow, skiing, snowboarding, skating, trekking, motorcycle ice racing, ice fishing, etc etc etc to name a few
Wouldn't complain if I were you! Enjoy the white stuff

Shovelling
Slush
Dirty snow
Yellow snow
Frozen locks
Frozen gas line
Frozen water pipes
Square tires
Salted roads

Also:
Scraping windshields
Frozen leather seats
Snowplow drifts you have to get through (or over)
Blown windshield wiper fuses 
Wheel wells made of ice
Dead batteries
Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there again!

Well we are expecting 4-6 inches of snow. A/S tires got me to the car wash and back no problem two blocks away but I think that I will have to put the Blizzak snow tires on in the next couple of days...... 
And yeah watch out Winnipeg as you may get our snow. Winter is here too bad.

That's heartbreaking to see a Boxster parked outside under a blanket of snow!
I have mine parked in a heated workshop (under a blanket) in Exeter.
PS - no snow here in Simcoe, ON yet.
