Our weather, here in Canada, is very messed up :S We had about 5 cm of snow last night, and then it rained it all away It was so pretty too! I hope we have some snow for Christmas!

gritting?? is that sanding, or salting? I'm sorry, I am not familiar with that term Our roads are salted in Nova Scotia! We had some more flurries this morning, it was pretty out, however it is freezing!

I hate winter where I live its VERY heavy winds and I fight with myself a lot if I have to go out in it :blush: I like rain if the house is nice and cosy as long as heavy winds don't come with it too.

We used to, when I was young, we never had a Christmas without snow, but now the climate has changed (quite significantly in my opinion) and we get most of our snow in January and February. I hope we luck out and get some snow on Christmas Day this year-that is the only day of the year that I don't mind snow, after that I am ready for summer again

Last year, it didn't snow on Christmas at all, but there was a snow storm on my birthday (a week AFTER Christmas) and it cancelled my birthday dinner plans It was awful, I slept half the day away!

i know snow is predicted towards the end of next week, tho tbh we never get much here really. It's sooo cold aswell now -2 here last night! I don't mind the cold soo much it's rain i can't stand. Apparently we're going to have the hottest summer on record in 2010 aswell.
