Title: What I woke up to this wonderful June 6th 2009 UPDATE OCT. 4th 2009
Post by: dvst8r on June 06, 2009, 11:11:17 AM
It is 0C (32F) out this morning. I don't even have words to describe how much I hate this place.

Sorry for the Crappy cell phone pics, the wife is away enjoying warm and sunshine. She has the normal shitty camera.

As you can see it is not sticking to the roads or driveways/sidewalks, but vehicles and grassy areas it is.

I am starting to wonder if ab/sk ever really gets summer, or if we just get a week off from snow. I could have sworn as a kid growing up in Edmonton there was summer, but that was a long time ago, and my memory probably just highlights the moments between snow, to make me think that there was summer then.

Damn I was pissy at the beginning of April when we got some flurries. 

People moved to cold climates for opportunity.  Idk why they stay for average income...  I've seriously considered trying to be homeless in Hawaii...

Edited original to reflect date change, This is what I get for looking at my watch and not the computer.

The money really is the only thing keeping me here, I make close to double what I would almost anywhere that I would want to live, but even the money isn't going to keep me here much longer.

Didn't get to take the pic till I was on my way to work on Monday morning, but we got about 10cm (4") of it. Most of which had melted by morning.

None the less we managed a whole 3 months with out it... >:(  To add insult to injury our hottest day of the year was at the end of September already into fall. A whopping 34C (93F) we had two days in the 90's this whole summer. Most of it was about 80 degrees.

If only there was another part of western Canada that paid this well.  :-\

Grandpa Dvst8r likes to complain when really he is leaving for Ecuador tomorrow.

Landed in Dallas, an hour late as they had to De Ice the plane, as it was a blizzard leaving Calgary. Walked off the plane at ~7pm to 85F and 85% Humidity. It was great. My connection to Miami leaves in about 4 hrs, and it is pouring rain here now, and I'm pulling a JD, and have insomnia.

I'm looking forward to Quito, at 9000ft and right at the equator, it is pretty much always 22-25C degrees (71-77F) there, and low humidity. I don't mind visiting places like Tx, but I sure couldn't live with this sticky heat.

I'm from the coast of MS, where it's typically 85-90*F in the summer with 110% humidity. It sucks, but you get used to it somewhat. Now I'm in central MS where it's about 5* cooler all the time and probably 10% less humidity, and it feels GREAT compared to down on the coast.

15 deg F and 2-4" of snow here.   While driving around town last night I saw a lot of stupid drivers with 4wd SUV and truck forgetting how to drive in winter conditions.
