Originally posted by MIODudeAlmost all of Ontario got the day off. My school was open. Up here, it doesn't close until -45°C, and it closes about twice every winter. just wait until you hit "our" snowbelt. We have blizzards that hit -35°C and drops a good 30cm on us around Christmas. That is a snow day.
My Wife got a snow day today (she works in Barrie.. large snowbelt).. its days like this that working from home isn't as fun.. hard to take a snow day when you work from home.
"uh, ya boss, the snow on the stairs was terrible.. I couldn't make it to my office.. once I can make it to close the window where the snow is coming in, I'll shovel myself out"

Maybe I started this wrong . . .
OK, everyone post their current temperature (whatever scale you use), general location (Northern Ontario, Canada for example), and your local time and timezone.
-15°C, Northern Ontario, Canada, 23:46 EST COLD!
I want to know if it is cold, hot, or just pleasent in your area.

Funny how the seasons work. Its summer and blisteringly hot. Its then that I curse the summer and beg for winter to come. Winter comes... I hate it. Its then that I pray for summer. I'm not very religious. Me praying is saying something.

Here's my logic, you can dress in layers to keep warm, but the opposite doesn't work in the heat. A/C, is a money eating machine, and water needs to be chemically treated to be safe.
