    It is. I'm just not used to 'normal' so I'm still learning what that means. Bear with me. :)

    Hello all....I'm here in the states and we got about 6 inches of snow yesterday. Now we get to enjoy sub zero temperatures for the next few days.

    Hey I'm from Canada. I think at some time we moved to the Arctic. Haha. This polar vortex isn't pleasant. Will be great for the ground water table come spring though.

    Hardly any here in my part of the UK, some winters none at all

    would you believe our winters seem to be coming later and later and we always start saying OMG do you think this will be an easy winter and it's like all Canadians jinx ourselves saying this. Well Ontarians or I guess Torontonians more specifically. We always get a big blizzard. We always have to dig out, it often get super cold. Just like in the summer it will be hot and humid...why anyone settled Canadian is beyond me. ya it's pretty but we get such extremes

    I always get a little jealous, I'd love to see a winter like you get. But I'd probably be running back to England damn quick, we can't cope here with it

    My family was in London for a snow "storm" once. The schools were cancelled for what we'd call a dusting. haha but we have the infrastructure here. We have plows at the ready and they pre salt the roads. WE know how to do winter yet cars were still getting stuck on hills and stranded on the highway.

    I know we're not to advertise here but in Canadian it's Let's Talk day when one of the phone companies donates 5 cents to mental health initiatives every time a video is watched or if you are a client a text message is sent or the hashtag is tweeted or instagrammed. I better get texting I guess haha
    but it's all about ending the stigma associated with mental health issues. We talk about cancer freely why don't we talk about what's going on in our heads more freely. It's not shameful. If you need help ask for it. We all need help from time to time. In conclusion, cause this has been long, take the time today to talk to your friends and family and ask how they're doing. Say hi to a stranger because you never know what someone else is going through. Maybe that one interaction will brighten their day. We can't fix everything but we can certainly try to help.

    @Gustaaf85 I'm a talker. Probably cause I'm a stay at home mom with lots of time? I will chat with anyone really but I learn really neat stuff often. My husband tells me I'm too friendly.

    This was our "snow" one evening last week. Can you see it? Lol

    haha yes that's a dusting. We wouldn't even say it's snowing. We have different names for snow storms. Flurries are kind of a light sprinkling. A squall is when it's like brief but intense snow those are scary cause they just pop up out of nowhere and are like a blizzard for 2 minutes.

    Definitely just a dusting then.
    This was March last year, the whole place came to a standstill, this snowplough had to be dug out, yea, we can't cope. It was named the beast from the east

    That was a good amount of snow. I just saw plows going around our area. Boooo means more digging out

    I need to take the dry-cleaning to the corner. Which is where the dry cleaners is, I jut don't take it to the corner and leave it there and hope someone cleans it for me. Anyway it's sooooo cold I don't want to go out but it's easier to walk than to find parking and I have a sweet parking spot that I don't want to have to give up. Should I reward myself with a coffee after I drop it off? Imma gonna say yes Alison you should
