Are you a thread ender?

Jumping off second story balconies into the drifts was though.

Yep, I used to do that as a kid in the eastern townships of Quebec, where my grandparents lived, Montreal and Toronto.

It sounds like Danny's childhood memories are what I'm living now ... (except the yellow snow and outhouse  )  We live on a rural island.  Lumberjack ... I was out in the bush Sunday bucking logs, but I wouldn't call myself a lumberjack ... kind of a jack of all trades these days.  I like the simple life rural living offers.

Snowed Monday night, cancelled the school buses yesterday and now all the snow is gone.  It's supposed to rain most of the week and then be nice next week here.  I hope Jeff (ES-335) is OK coming west from Winnipeg.  I think he was leaving on the 14th of December, so I hope it's now snowing too much in the mountains.

Well Canada's capital region is closing in on 20 inches of snow since Dec 1.  On the QC side of the river, snow tires are the law...for residents only of course.  I've got mine!

I was born in Sherbrooke, earliest memories are of living in Richmond, then we moved to Laprarie where we did the jumping...fun days eh. One place we lived in had a really big driveway and we used to tunnel under the snow after the tractor came and cleard it to one side.

  Just for the record. I also lived in an area of Michigan that was close to the Canadian border.
Part of Canada was south of us and part was east. Of course most was NORTH. At any rate we had some cold winters and enough snow in one season to last a lifetime. Some was lake effect snow and it would pile up. 
   The deep snow was my favorite, because it made the world quiet and at least it looked clean for a few days.

question...when you turn your hot water faucet...how long does it take before you get hot water?

[Big E]

Sorry about that sneaky I was shovelling a path through the snow to the outhouse.

I now live in a home with three full bathrooms. One has a very large sunken jacuzzi as well as a shower.

Anybody see the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-0 win over Boston tonight?

Nope but I just read that the Habs beat the Islanders 3-0 and that Markov, who's back after getting injured in the first game of the season, scored 2 of the three...
