Ice Age

Princess · Post by **Princess** » Wed Jan 10, 2007 9:39 pm

Well, it's officially ICE AGE in Canada.. in Alberta anyways!!! Today the temperatures are down to -25C (-13F) with most bone piercing wind chill makes it feel like -38C (-36.4F). It is absoltely ridiculous and tomorrow supposed to be even worse!! These temperatures should be illegal and not possible!!!!

Poor Gabbana doesn't understand why that mean mom of hers won't let her be outside for more then 10 minutes!!!

Just thought I would complain to everyone!! Mainly i'm just jealous that most of you guys don't have to experience this terrible weather..

I saw those temps on the news this morning and thought about all my nothern friends. I so don't miss that weather but I hear you on the chow wanting to be outside in it.

It was pretty chilly here last weekend - I know I know

35 is not cold to some of you but it's cold for us big babies! Cabo would not come in the house. Now we're supposed to get the artic blast this weekend and I know he's gonna want to be outside in this like a crazy dog. I can't wait to see him in the snow if we ever get him to my folk's house.

It's coming to Texas! Jasper says "BRING IT ON!"

The Pit Bulls on the other hand.... I am going to have to physically carry a couple of them out there to the yard to pee. They won't do it. They'll hold it forever. Or, like Loretta, use the rug inside the nice, warm house.

Actually Karen...
When I got to work this morning everyone was complaining how cold it was outside and just I said "ahhh c'mon, it's not that bad, it could be worse" and they all looked at me like I was crazy

. It just reminded me of how I used to get all bundled up and take Dakota for long walks in weather like this....she loved it!

So, are you saying global warming wouldn't be so bad after all?

Olga, I'm glad you decided to pass the time with your camera, your Gabbana is BEAUTIFUL, she looks like what I think my Kearra will look like when she grows up! PERFECT STORY, and what a face, I wanted to let her go outside myself, and persistant too haha
I give, I was complaining that it was too cold to go for a walk yesterday and it was 58 haha You could quickly turn into a POPSICLE couldn't ya??? OK so now I'll stop thinkin' COLD after hearing your temps I'll have to think WOW it is soooo warm out haha Us Southern folks have NO IDEA what COLD really is!!!!

Stay Warm

Forget the Global warming, give me the Ice age, Frozen Tundra anyday. Its much eisier to take your sled team to town then riding aound on or trying to park a Camel.

vicster605@cmaaccess.com · Thu Jan 11, 2007 8:59 am

OH Olga, I'll trade you that FREEZING COLD and the beauty of Canada, for our Hurricanes, HOT weather and the nasty image everyone has of New Orleans, the NICE people here, the crime and aftermath ANY OLD DAY...........Can we come visit????? HAHA

I think Kearra would LOVE a good romp in the snow with your Gabbana!!!
Warm but it REALLY sucks here!!! It looks good from down here that ICE AGE up there

Tryin' to make ya smile.........Stay Warm

I'm all for global warming, bring on those greenhouse gases I say!! (kidding, just kidding...sorta)

Princess · Post by **Princess** » Thu Jan 11, 2007 12:01 pm

Jeff, i'll trade you LA (i think that's where you're at) for ice age hehehehe

Vicster: you are more then welcome to come visit!!!!!!!! but for snow we'll have to visit Roxana, they have snow in edmonton, here it's just cold with ice patches hahaha, or we can go to the mountains there's a bunch of snow there....
Yes i would rather not have hurricanes.. but i do like warm weather! we haven't seen too much on New Orleans lately actually, they did show all the flooding for a while but nothing recent. I hope rebuilding is going well, that was really unfortunate

.
oh Gabbana says thanks, I think her ego just grew a whole bunch after reading your post!!! hahahaha

We need pictures of Kearra, so her ego can large too

!!!

I'm not sure about global warming, all I wanted was a big snowstorm with those fun fluffy flakes, but we just got really cold instead..grrr...
hahaha, we try to stay warm, wearing snow gear to walk the doggie, or go anywhere for that matter.. brrrrrr

Vicster,

I know this is off the subject but...

Just curious, are you an LSU fan?

If so, what do you think of Alabama hiring Nick Saban?
Of course, Alabamians are thrilled!

Tundra, yes that is what it is like right now, frozen, unchanging ground for miles and miles. Lily likes it fine, but I wonder what keeps me here in the winter. Probably that pesky family. We have only a smattering of snow- so far.

vicster605@cmaaccess.com · Thu Jan 11, 2007 5:51 pm

Olga,

I'm trying to get my 10 yr old granddaughter to show me how to post pics haha You would never know I ran a computer program at a hospital for years haha I'm only 47 but the computer makes me feel OLD AS DIRT!! Can't wait to show ya Kearra.....
New Orleans and Ms. are slowly recovering but the crime is out of hand. We have had something like 12 murders since the 1st with half the population!! CRAZY!!! Kinda glad everyone is sooo afraid of Kearra, she just laughs and says let them be very afraid haha

Bama: Yes, I'm an LSU fan, but I do it like a girl {CHEER THEM ON AND DON"T KNOW THEIR NAMES}haha Everything else sucks here but LSU is AWSOME!!! And even better Have you checked out THEM SAINTS, this is a first!!!

Auddymay I wonder about the same thing myself over here in Minnesota! We don't have much snow on the ground either, but it's supposed to be 12-14 degrees F. for the highs this next week, starting tomorrow, and with 10-15 mile and hour winds should feel more like 1-5 degrees. Probably still won't have much snow, And I actually don't mind it cold and dry like this. Firesong and Dreamdancer love this cold stuff too.

Vicster, if you go the photo gallery section there are instruction on how to post a photo... I'm pretty computer illiterate but I did figure out how to do it.. I use photobucket to upload pictures, then resize them and post them...

Hey Guys

Chow chows LOVE Snow...they love this cold stuff almost better than treats!!!

I can just see them all pulling sleds around...that would make them estatic!!

Well, I have NO SNOW here in Wisconsin and it's been quite warm.. BUT... starting tomorrow and then through Monday with Sunday being the worst... SNOW. Not projecting A LOT of it, about 8 inches... but you know how it goes.. we will either get NOTHING or 16 inches.

I'm pretty sure it's coming your way too Audy.... and of course you guys will get that lovely Lake effect snow on top of it.

The weather was just crazy since Christmas. When I posted the frozen tundra comment, it was cold and windy, then the next day (less even) it got warm again. (40's). Today, it is raining. Lily is a wet chow. Haley dragged her in, literally. Yes, Chris, we are supposed to get snow too, and colder temperatures, but the map on the weather was more confusing than I have ever seen. Normally everything come from the west, with north and south just changing the 'angle' of the fronts. Last night it was west, south, and east, with North entering the picture in a day or so! Sheesh! Looked like a battle plan!
