I fail to see how "Brutal Winter Predicted for Canada" is news.

It's kinda the same as
"George Bush just said something unintelligible"

Picture of bike buried in snow.

Now, who can get dug out first, the car owner or the bike owner.

I have no plans to move, don't worry. (But if I change my mind, I'll wrestle you for your spot.)

Oh please, our winters are actually pretty mild in most of the country. I agree that this was a non-news article, though, I was just amused at the photo. Good thing for covered bike parking, though, or my bike would have looked like that last night! :eek:

You should be posting your No Trespassing signs on the OTHER border.

I can't wait to blow past everyone carving their cages out of the driveway.

I know what you mean. When I get out of work, I LOVE riding by co-workers who are scraping ice and snow off their cars. I give a cheery yell: "Byt the time you finish doing that, I'll be home!"

COOOL!!

I miss the snow. I fly out to Canada Jan 1st. It'll be the first time I've seen real snow in .. erm.. holy cripes. 10 years :eek:

I was looking forward to coming back in the winter because I miss it so much. Looks like I chose the right year to come back!!

The Great Lakes need a really good winter and a couple of years of way above average rain.

Most of Canada.


Victoria and Vancouver have the smallest chance of a white Christmas with 11 per cent probability.

I promise to think of the rest of you guys as I'm riding into work this winter!
