we had a snow storm here in Ontario and we went from almost all the snow melted to getting a foot of snow through the day.
I love going from standing in snow to standing in a desert within a few hours.








i love going from snow

it means normal for the Americans, average weather but us Canadians are just walking out of our igloos right now.

MON going by Windguru looks good with gusts to 24mph (downgraded from 35mph as reported this morning)

Highs 58 to 70. Yep. Definitely a Canadian heat wave :lol: My friend in Alberta #@%$#!es about how scorching hot it is when the temperature peaks above a sizzling 73F. Meanwhile I'm in Texas and the temperature is 108 with 60% humidity for the nth consecutive day.

All kidding aside, you guys are going to have a FANTASTIC time, and I wish I could be there living it up as well :)
