Sinc, be my guest in hanging up the decorations on Dec. 1st. I shall have all of my wrapping done by then so it will put me in the right spirit, since I hate to wrap gifts.

This year I am going to do all of my shopping online.

A little heavier on the Credit Card, but worth it if I don't have to step into a mall.

MP, a man after my own heart. I hate malls. I don't mind downtown stores, because one gets to walk outside from store to store. I have not been to the West Edmonton Mall, or a mall that size, but I hate these monster malls that are spread out in all directions.

Sonal, the winters get a bit long and sometimes they are bitterly cold but the people here are pretty great (Think shang members). We don't get flooded out, no tornados, no hurricanes and no monster snow storms. For example, Barrie gets much nastier weather than we do. Once the snow comes, it usually stays and we don't have slush to contend with. In my cross country skiing days, it was great because waxing didn't have to get too fancy until the spring season.
What does your friend do that they would come up here? If they like to hunt, fish, snowmobile or ski they should like it fine.
Now, having said all that, I'm tired of shoveling already. At least the snow was light and fluffy this time around.

Dr.G. You should go to Vaughn Mills, just North of Toronto some day. This Mall is a Monster.

My wife was in the mall at one of her stores (she's in Loss Prevention) before the mall was opened and it took her 45 minutes to walk from one end to the other - with no one in the mall!!! I can't imagine it full.

Vaughn Mills

Bolor,

Snow Blower.

MP, I have a snow blower but todays snowfall didn't warrant taking it out. The snow was light and fluffy. I used it yesterday, though, with the 30 cms on the ground. After the snow plow came by, I cleaned up most of the neighbourhood. Other times I'll push the snow to one side (depending on the wind direction) then blow it over the snow bank rather than lift it.

Sinc, our country here is fairly flat. (not as flat as yours tho') so it is not nearly as challenging as say Canmore.

Bolor, we sometimes get that sort of snow here in St.John's.................and then it rain...........then it freezes............then it snows some more.............then sleet will coat all of this.......................all within half a day. Thus, there are times when a snow blower just can't make it through all of this mess.

Still, it is nearly midnight and it is still over 11C here.
