Crazy weather lately.
About 18F here right now and we've just dug out from that blizzard you were generous enough to send up here.
They claim the temp will climb up to about the low 40's F in a day or so... and then will plunge back down.
Starting to regret not putting winter tires on my 9 month old Highlander.
Funny.. this year the city decided to take over responsibility for plowing our sidewalks this year wile assessing us a $17.00 per $100K property value.
Trouble is they give themselves a 36 hour window to do residential areas so everyone gets out and shovels like the past.
I tried letting it go for the day but my neighbours on each side end up doing my sidewalk.
Doh! I end up feeling guilty so I have to go out and shovel anyway.


Shamed into doing the right thing! It's good to see that kanookerville
hasn't gone all amerikan yet.
