Hey, at least you probably knew there was a lock out! I didn't know it until I logged on to the Ducks website yesterday and read an article in the news about Temu buying a restaurant this week to pass the time during the lockout!!!!!

I know, it's so stupid. Maybe these hockey players need to start hitting the juice a little more.

That would make for some interesting forechecking and back checking and mid ice collisions. BOOOOOM!!!!!!

Thats f'ing cold by any Canadian standards!

I used to work in TBay on the railroad...outdoors in the winter! Try building skeletonized track in 39 below weather. MY boots were so frozen that when it was time to enter the cook car, i had to get another dude to help pull my boots off! (no boots in the dining car)

I actually live a few hours from tbay.

January with the wind chill and working outside building a group home for kids was a nightmare. I was surprised no one walked out from that job. Gotta love Canadian winters!

[canadianjuice]

8 degrees in Windsor today not bad minus 35 thats crazy

[MickeyKnox]

The coldest i have ever worked outside was 51 below in White River. <--- (recorded coldest place in Ontario)

Stores and restaurants were closed due to the frigid cold. Cars woulds not start, and pipes were bursting everywhere. Thats was insane.

[calgarian]

it was -20C last week with windchill it was -35 in calgary

[MickeyKnox]

-35 sucks, especially with the wind. But -20 is terrific skiing weather.

It sucked..

Each week working outside makes Mexico that much better at the end of the year

It's winter in Canada
And the gentle breezes blow,
Seventy miles an hour
At thirty-five below.

Oh, how I love Canada
When the snow's up to your butt,
You take a breath of winter
And your nose freezes shut.

Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around,
I could never leave Canada
I'm frozen to the friggin' ground!

when its really cold we have snowy....its a quickie but in the snow.......

[MickeyKnox]

[Atomini]

Alright, it's finally snowed here where I am... Finally.

Going to wait to see if this melts over the next few days before I decide to throw the winter tires on, though. One thing I hate is putting on the winters after a snowfall and all of it melts only to have very little snow the rest of the season.

[MickeyKnox]

We have a ton! We're snowmobiling already! Northern Ontario is where its at!

[Atomini]

Damn, that would be fun. I know some guys who live far enough north they don't drive cars in the winter (which, for them, is like 6 months out of the year lol), they snowmobile everywhere.

[MickeyKnox]

My buddy was ice fishing yesterday at one of the back country lakes for speckle (brook) trout. He reported 5" of ice.

[Soar]

I hate winter...

[MickeyKnox]

[Atomini]

Just got dumped on with snow a day ago or so here. Not too much, maybe 10cm at most. I threw the winter tires on but this snow better stay. I hate it when the snow melts after i've thrown the winters on and the tires just wear out quicker.

[Soar]

I hear ya. Tossed studded on this year, it's nice passing guys in trucks with crap tires when in in a little sports car haha

Just remember to stay off the curbs.

Canada is a wonderful place in the winter. I have fished and hunted up there alot during the winter season.

Southern Ontario winter sucks

A Saskatchewan farmer and his wife, on their way back home in January, are at an airport in Arizona awaiting their flight. They were dressed in heavy boots, parka, scarf, mittens, all ready to head home to the Canadian winter.

An older American couple standing nearby is intrigued by their manner of dress.

The wife says to her husband, "Look at that couple. I wonder where they are from?"
He replies, "How would I know?"
She counters, "You could go and ask them."
He says, "I do not really care. You want to know, you go and ask them."

She decides to do just that and walks over to the couple and asks,
"Excuse me. Looking at the way you are dressed, I wondered ~ where you are from ?"

The Canadian farmer replies, "Saskatoon, Saskatchewan".

The woman returns to her husband, who asks, "So, where are they from?"

She replies, "I don't know. They don't speak English.”

LOL @ 'LOBSTERS'!!! That's EXACTLY what my dad thinks of Nova Scotia! He just thinks that everyone there fishes for lobsters, everyone eats lobsters for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He thinks lobsters there are extremely cheap, and he wants to go on vacation there JUST for the lobsters, etc. etc.

Lobster is dirt cheap. 4 bucks a pound. You can tell him that during lobster season, Macdonalds has mc lobster sanwiches. Lol

[MickeyKnox]

Sadly, ive been out to the east coast only once. But what an adventure and experience! I cant wait to go back! Stayed on PEI for a wk and ate seafood 24/7..lol

They have shacks on the side of the highway like french fry shacks, but the sell lobster bodies and mollusks instead! What a trip! 5 bucks gets you a pile of lobster bodies and a handful of mollusks! They server it on a tray with a piece of brown paper towel and huge knife. lol

At one rest stop area i took my small cooler down the shore and picked a pile of malpeque oysters! They are considered the finest oyster in the world! Yeah im pretty excited about the East Coast.

You have done more than me and i grew up there. Lol. I bet i was drunk on the shore you talk about though!!

[MickeyKnox]

We stayed at the Twin Shores campground. Awesome place to gather and party with a huge group. I attended a family reunion. What a blast!

[MickeyKnox]

Not sure ab out your neck of the woods, but here in Northern Ontario we are about to experience a heat wave this wk. Temps will rise to +4! Thats horrible for skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, and just about any other winter activity. This sucks!

[Soar]

It was warm out west too, managed to hit the mountains for some boarding this weekend. Warm but not to warm, perfect blue sky all day long. Perfect skiing conditions.

[MuttonChop]

Yep... Hamilton

Niceee!!!

i probably have seen you around and thought to myself "What a big mofo!!! Time to head back to the gym."

It's a small world after all.

Unless you're on the west coast. The only weather we get here is wet and wetter.

We pretty much only get two seasons over here, spring and fall.
