Yes. When I left downtown about 8:30 tonight, I thought I felt a little moisture but couldn't see anything. When I got off the train at Grosvenor, it was snowing noticably. Arleen and I went out to dinner and it was still snowing then. Made a pretty picture, the snow in the lights as we sat eating.

And at 10:45 PM it's still snowing. I don't think it's going to stick, but I think Topper was a bit optimistic about this clipper he predicted.

Fortunately, we're not going anywhere tomorrow - everyone's coming to our house for dinner - a tradition we've had going for at least 25 years now.

We might still have a bit of white Thanksgiving! Have a great day with your family Ed. It'll just be the 3 of us tomorrow, but that's just perfect. Might just be the best Thanksgiving ever :)

You have a good holiday, too, Bruce. This is my favorite holiday of all. Food, family, friends, and free of religious over (or under) tones.

We had a record high today, in the 80's. I am ready for some light wind jacket weather for sure.

The quick changes are the reason that you get sick so easily down here. It is 55 and cold wind one day and 80 and humid the next. I hate being sick, let alone now when I have all of Andies family coming over tomorrow.

I know Daren. I lived around Dallas for quite awhile. Gotta be some of the most extreme weather in the US!

After hearing your tales of climatic woe, I think I live in paradise!! An average of 23 C (75 F) through Summer and around 12 C (whatever the hell that is in Farenheit) though Winter.

Cheers - JJ

Well, we received about 4 inches between yesterday at 2 in the afternoon and now. It's still snowing, and they are saying we will get as much again through the day. Then the forecast is for warmer weather with a high of +14 C by next Tuesday - very strange.......

Pretty much the same thing here too. I get to use my snowblower tonight, I am so excited!!! But double digit temps next week. I thought I might be able to get some skiing in before Christmas, but I guess not.
