merry christmas have a safe and merry christmas. and enjoy unwrapping the presents.

welcome to winter bigtime officialy winterbegan today. from cold weather to snow storms, much of north america has seen it all. travel plans have gone askew, roads are rough and people stranded everywhere. so a nasty winter already. and a white christmas.

im dreaming of a white christmas with the cold weather here and the amount of snow we have, its liable to happen. with a slow warm up to wednesday, it will happen. so yay for that.

cold weather arrives near red green after a hockey game the cold weather is on the doorstep and the wind has a bite already. bundle up or stay home. why freeze? i finally got the red green show - the 2000 season on monday. already a few episodes into it and already a craving for m&m's. goes back to when the show first started airing and i was always munching a bag of m&m's. was at the oilers game last night and boy was it a bummer of a game. lost to the florida panthers 2-0 despite outshooting the panthers 41-15. their goalie saw all the shots, gave up no rebounds at all. plus the oilers didnt forecheck, crash the net or had much energy at all. it was frustrating to watch. next time - hopefully.

lousy cold and confusing weather been dealing wiht a cold the last few days. not exactly fun. and i still have it a bit. no wonder ive been feeling lazy lol. i think weve ditched the freezing rain. it was a rain/snow mix a few days ago. its snowing now and its supposed to sonow again tomorrow and friday. from what global is saying, we could hit highs of -20 by the weekend. and global has been pretty accurate with their forecasts. theyve only shown the four day forecast. so the six day will be interesting.

december has arrived december has arrived via a gust of wind and a bunch of snow in northern alberta. rest of alberta still waiting for snow to show up even thouhg a couple of local ski hills opened up with man made snow. with lots of hockey and nfl football, it will be a good month for sure. hopefully it will snow here
