A flake?!?!

I just drove through a blinkin' blizzard today!  And it's still coming down.
Can't believe it! Here we are only October 12th and there's white stuff on the ground already. :o

I thought for sure my tub would arrive before I had to worry about shovelling!
BRRRRR...... :)

Snow hit here yesterday around 4:00, and it's snowing right now.  Light snow, and it's melting as it hits the ground, but snow nonetheless.

My wife's addicted to the weather channel  :-? (ya, we know how to party!) so I knew that this was coming.  

Dumb big dip in the jet stream is yanking all the arctic air into SW Ontario and some of the northern States. >:(  When it hits the Great Lakes *POOF!* instant snow.  Not too worried; it should all be gone by the weekend.

Florida's looking pretty sweet right now though! 8-)

That darn Arctic. They cause all the problems! (40 currently in Chicago, with a couple of flakes - no, not me - with 50's predicted the next 3 days)

let me clarify:  I'm referring to COLD air from the Tundra regions, not all the HOT air from Arctic dealers.

(HA!  Couldn't resist!) :P  

Sorry to all the *millions* of Arctic dealers and owners out there whom I've just offended.  I promise to poke fun at one of your competitors next time! ;)

Well, first off I don't think there's millions of us out here; er, maybe less than a hundred? Anyway, I like your sense of humor water. You zapped me twice, one for Arctic and even one for the Tundra! Nicely done, except I bit you to the punch. Nothing like a bit of self-depricating humor!

There was snow on my car this morning and we delivered a hot tub into a screened-in porch this morning with snow on the ground.

I smashed my fingers and it didn't even hurt because it was only 25 out.

"Cold front" came through town last night. Currently sunny and an unreasonably brisk 68° here.

Might have to break out the parka...

Yup...  Just 1 degree above freezing today and almost white out conditions.  Snowing as I write this.  My wife and kids and I are going for our FIRST DIP in the new Jacuzzi tonight!!! ;D ;D
I'd say perfect weather for breaking the newest addition to the family in.  Hey Silent Water, you and I are in the same neck of the woods!!

38F and windy as heck today.  We were supposed to get some flurries, but didn't.  I guess I'll take the cold and snow and know I never have to worry about earthquakes, like 87F and sunny California   ;D

Hi, In_Canada_Eh  and  SlimChance.

I'm surprised at how many of us there are from SW Ont here on this forum.  Nice to talk to the neighbours!
I'm also from London and new to the site - as well as to tubbing.

This site proves one thing though... it's not only Canadians who like to talk about the weather! ;)

Oh!  Almost forgot!    EH?

Started a light rain at around 5am - chilly. I think its around 60 out there right now.

I had to go put the boat away - it was laoded up and hitched to the Spas etc. truck sitting out front ready for a ski day.

Guess I may have to go to work today instead.

Bummer.

And I have lost over 60 pounds in the past five months so I am freezing!!! How do you thin people deal with actual snow and real cold climates?

I almost put on my wetsuit just to go park the boat.

That soak at 103 felt great, stayed in 30 minutes. If it was 60 out, we wouldn't have been able to do it.  I was hoping not to have to change my water till November, but I still should be able to make it, Highs in the 60s next week again.


Should Vermont apologize for its cheese?

I suppose that you can get used to anything!

But I really don't know what true COLD is like.  SW Ontario is further south and warmer than most of the Northern States.  And with the moderating effect of the Great Lakes all around us, we get lots of snow but not usually really severe cold.  Talk to somebody from Winnipeg, for instance, if you want to hear about your spit freezing before it hits the ground!

That's not for me.  Don't get me wrong... I love snow - for the first month or so - but then I'm ready for a trip to the tropics!

Shivering burns calories!

Then, when the shivering gets too much and your chattering teeth start hurting your head, you need to move around to keep warm, thus burning more calories!

Just as we invest in the best hot tub we can afford, we also must invest in the best insulation that we can afford, layer by layer.  Many of us live outside in the winter as well--snomobiling, hunting, and ice fishing, building snow forts, tubing, ice skating!  Isn't life grand??!! :) :)

Heh well I spent the first 35 years of my life in the Northeast - grew up near Boston, went to school near Lake Erie in Ohio (wind-chills of 70 below!), then back to Boston. Didn't mind the cold so much, but the summer swampiness really got me down.

As far as earthquakes, felt a few minor ones in the last 7 years, but that sure beats struggling through two months of February . . . ;)
