Hey, look…

…what it’s doing outside!

They were expecting up to 20-30 cm of snow overnight around southern Ontario.  I’m just grateful it’s SOUTHERN Ontario.  I’d hate to see what’s happening up north.

Great forecast for tomorrow, too:

Snow, snow, snow, snow… cloudy… and more snow.

Calgary, on the other hand, which usually gets AWFUL weather right about when lovely spring temperatures are starting here, is right now enjoying yet another chinook.  Apparently, last Thursday, the temperature went up to 13°C, with an overnight low of 4°C.  And then it plunged right down to -29°C three days later.

What would I rather have – consistent “pretty cold” OR a little “terrible, ungodly cold” followed by a few days of “NICE”, followed by more “terrible, ungodly cold”???

Elisheva was born during a chinook, but I missed most of it – between 2 days in labour and three days stuck in the hospital.  By the time she got out, it was ungodly again.  The first time I took her out in the carriage, it was – I am not kidding – minus FIFTY with the windchill. 

Through thick blankets, scarves, hats, snowsuits, and the carriage boot, she screamed and screamed from the cold…

The upside of the weather is that Ted’s work and Elisheva’s school are both cancelled – SNOW DAY!!!

It's Heart Month: 3 days left to save lives!

Dear Friends & Family: Hi, everybody! Sorry I can’t stop by in person... you're a bit out of my area.  :-) We’re out walking up and down on our street on this beautiful afternoon to raise money for Heart & Stroke.  This cause is important to me (I won't say it's close to my heart , because that would be tacky!).  I hope you'll join me by donating online. Growing up, I watched as every single one of my grandparents' lives were shortened by heart disease and strokes, and my father had a defibrillator that saved his life on more than one occasion.  Heart disease and stroke kill 1 in 3 Canadians and are the #1 killer of women. Please click this link to be redirected to my main page at the Heart & Stroke website: http://tinyurl.com/AtlasHeart Thus ends my personal appeal.  Official information follows.  :-))) ----- Heart disease and stroke is the #1 killer of women - taking more women's lives than all forms of cancer combined. But no one is immune. Th
