Re: meanwhile, in Alamosa.......

Hey!! Come on,now!! It's the season to be nice to others, not to calling them names. If you mean by "...those jerks up north of here..." the people in Canada, we are just trying to show our neighbours to the south of us what kind, considerate and sharing people we are up here. So, naturally, if we can come up with a bit of snow and cold winds, we just love to share some of it with the good people down in St. Paul/Minneapolis and everywhere else south of the 49th that we can send it!!!
As I look out my back door here in Southern Ontario, about 100 miles straight north of Buffalo N.Y., it is raining, the temperature is 40F, and there isn't a snowflake in sight. So much for the Great White North. Guess I'll just have to content myself by cutting the grass again, instead of skiing and snowmobiling!
To all the narrow-gaugers out there, have a happy and healthy holiday season!!
