No matter what I say, I can't convince my inlaws here in TN (outside of those that attended our very rainy wedding last December ;) ) that it isn't usually very cold in Vancouver. They give me the "yeah riiiiight" look, every time.

Chilly here in the DC area, high was over +20C! Bring on the cool weather please!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

We spent Christmas last year with my husband's family just outside of Houston, Texas. They actually did get some snow falling Christmas Eve as the temperature hovered around freezing - in fact, my husband and his nephew got into a 'snowflake' fight scraping off the little bits that did stick to the top of the car roofs(VBG).

I put up the Christmas decorations outside today - hard to imagine working up a sweat stringing pine wreaths and lights but I did - it was 72 degrees. It is supposed to plummet tomorrow as a cold front goes through - down to the high 20s overnight, but right now the windows are still open and we don't expect to turn on the furnace for another few weeks. Do I miss the snow? NAAAAAHHH! Hehehehe

(temps...as bad as substitute teachers :wacko: )

I am a temp. Have you ever been a temp? :ot:

:ot2:

My physics teacher told us that absolute zero was a theory. He said that he didn't want to be around when someone was actually able to achieve absolute zero as that would mean that the electrons would stop spinning around the nucleus---part of what the definition of "Matter" is. He postulated that the lab might contain a petri dish of anti-matter and since that had only been described in fiction---he didn't want to live it. He didn't think that absolute zero was -273ºC either. He said that that was just "really cold."

Hardly matters, I suppose: I really don't crave a trip around the back side of Pluto to check out just what temperature nothing is. Calgary is only sort of cold and then sort of mild and sort of cold again. I have learned to bundle up if I am going to be on any of the avenues because the wind just howls down 'em. The streets are generally sheltered. Where I hope to be going next year sometime is only going to get down to the same winter temps as I grew up with in southern ON.

Previous lists moved to "Story" section
