Home in Winter

[bjarvis]

It was raining when I crawled out of bed this morning. With the exception of a teasing two minute flurry last week, I haven't seen snow on the ground since last December, and even then it only lasted two days before melting away.

This is what I miss:


Longtime friend Edward snapped this shot of Lake Timiskaming (New Liskeard, ON) earlier this month.

It isn't winter if the water is liquid.

Not a bad Canadian really, perhaps just one who has temporarily lost his way. :-)

As much as I miss having a real winter, I have to seriously wonder if I could hack it anymore. Living in the (comparatively) tropical climate of the US mid-Atlantic region has made me a little soft. On the other hand, I only survive summers here by hiding in my basement until late September; living any further south would be potentially lethal.

Texas summers kill me...after 20 years I never got used to them.

That's why God created central air conditioning.

It's not like summers are cold in most of Canada either. Montreal summers can be brutal.

True, but summers in Ontario were unbearable for a relatively short period of the year, perhaps a month. In DC, it's ugly (IMHO) June through September.
