Hi Stan,
No snow at all on beautiful Vancouver Island.
Except on our local ski hill.
Didn't have any at all last year.

Re: White Christmas at your house....
we have had 24 hours of snow, about 7 inch (and still coming down). no problem with that until the wind comes up
then the highways get closed down and trucks wait for days sometimes just to get past one open space, even the best snowploughs that money can buy does not control nature. Dennis is lucky, he just smiles all year round at us poor (do you feel sorry for me yet?) people who live on the prairies.
just a general question, " has anyone visited Churchill"? Manitoba`s only sea port.

Re: White Christmas at your house....
Den on UCL it was fairies to the left of us , fairies to the right of us and now I am getting a bit worried about Ron #13 looking up his old dresses LOL.
But I wonder what happened to all those fairies, did any of them end up on top of the Chritsmas tree?

Re: White Christmas at your house....
I have for a number of years considered the concept of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. It is a well established scientific fact that Reindeers do not have a Red nose.
There was at one time a well known Russian circumcised Jew by the name of Rudolph Ivaknackeroff, who developed the red nose as a result of copious quantities of Vodka. But he was by no means a reindeer.
Male Reindeer do not have antlers during the Northern winter. They shed the in late autumn, producing new ones in spring in time for the rut.
What a wonderful term 'the rut' a veterinarian term for the animal act of procreation.
It is from this term, 'the rut' that the human term 'the root' may have come into being. The root being the adjective for 'getting ones leg over' a generic term for human procreation, or as is the case for many a form of entertainment.
I have as a conclusion to this study come to the concept that,
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was in fact a Lesbian Alcoholic Reindeer.
I rest my case.

Re: White Christmas at your house....
Well done John.
Without doubt you put a lot into your study.
You should have applied for a government grant to cover expenses.
I know in Canada money is available for such.
You just have to look for it!
