Well, this is my first post. I have never done this before. I figure it is about time I get with the 21st century. I am at work today, It is dreadfully slow. It is Good Friday in Canada and although I work for an international company, it seems quite a few people are not working today. I am assuming they are taking a long weekend. Well deserved I am sure.
It is still snowing here. This time last year the grass would be starting to turn green and the buds would start making an appearance on the trees. Not here, no....we still have a yard full of snow and it is below zero -5°C ( 23°F) with windchill of -13°C (9°F), yikes....
Don't get me wrong. I love the snow, I missed the snow when I lived down
south.
I have been back in Canada for 20 years...20...that is a long time....and I have never EVER seen this much snowfall in Winter, since I have come back. When I was a just a little one, the snow never seemed to end and it would reach the roof tops. I thought with all the weather changes that I would never see this again. I guess I was wrong.
Last year for Christmas, my entire family went to Disney World. It was balmy and warm. We went swimming every day in an outdoor pool and the kids wore shorts. Right now, I long for that, Florida, the sun and the warmth. According to the calendar, Spring is here. I really wish I could see a sign of it.

Great first post I think! Wow, you're ready to be rid of it and I'd love to look out the window at a yard full of it and still coming down. When it did snow here in the early 90s I played in it like I was five years old! I will never forget the sound it makes as it falls! Oh what I'd give to see it again!
Alright Gal....time for another post!
