If so, show us some pictures. Hope spring is just around the corner for you.

Nope, the tracks are all clear here right now. We still have some snow, but spring does seem to be comming, albeit slowly. On Monday we had a bit of freezing rain, but other than that, things have been pretty calm. Right now, it's around 35 degrees outside. But you never know what might happen. We once got snow in the middle of sumer. Saskatchewan is a land of weather extremes. In winter, you'd think we were on the North Pole and in summer it's as hot as the sun. At one point last year, it was warmer in North Battleford, Sask. than it was in Las Vegas!

Snow in the summer[%-)][%-)][%-)]. Nope, nope, nope. May be great to visit, but I need SoCal heat. 90's, no bugs, and no clouds. Surfs up.

We were at Yellowstone for the 4th one year and it snowed during the nite. [:O] I still tease my wife about that, we were in our little camper shell and she said it was to warm for a sleeping bag [(-D] needless to say I was nice and warm come morning but guess who wasn't. [:-^]

Well, we didn't exactly get a blizzard here in the summer, but one morning, a few years ago, in the middle of July, it started to snow. I was melted by the end of the day, but nevertheless, it's not exactly what you'd call normal.

I don't like the cold, but I personally can't stand the heat! You'd never see me heading down to Cancun or Porto Vaillarta or the Caiman Islands. On the warmest days in summer, I'm in the nice, cool basement with my trains.

Just for fun, how's this for a hot vs. cold comparison? Where would you rather be?
