If you live in the toronto area I think you'll know what I'm talking about. This morining all the roads have turned ice, cause its been rainning. You could barly walk without tripping and a car crashed at my intercetion. All the cars had a cm of ice. This winter has really been strange.

I almost slipped but didnt lol

Had to pick up some groceries for the parents...had a LOT of trouble getting up my driveway, it has a huge slant. Ended up having to get some kitty litter and spread it around a bit. It was fun though LOL.

When i lived in Toronto it used to happen all the time.
Here in portugal, i'm looking outside my window right now and it's summer hot.
Let's see, what did i get from moving here? less street violence, better weather, a now greater economy than Canada's, a natural beach in every city, no natural disasters... i think i did ok, hehe.

I'm in Tennessee. Our weather has been weird until today. New Years Eve night it was 50 degrees outside. Yesterday it was 68. Today and the rest of the week it's getting back to normal. Rainy, windy and in the high 30's to low 40's. I'm sure that in March we'll pay for the nice weather that we've had up til now.
