    It will be 15°F this week. It was already -20 °F one night. What happens in Canada doesn't stay in Canada. I went to the West Edmonton Mall around Thanksgiving one year. I was in a small plane and there was icing on the wings. It was so bad we left that plane there, rented a van and drove all of the way home. One of the longest rides of my lifetime. It was so brutally cold and I always wonder, why doesn't the weather channel talk about what's really going with the weather for all of the peoples across Canada. I think about your weather of the time.

    Canadians have true grit. Why don't we hear about you on the weather channel. :)

    Canada is a very large country. The weather they get Northern and Westernly Canada isn’t the same as we get here in Ontario and Quebec. Our weather here is no worse than many of the northern states of the U.S.

    Hi, just started again. I'm using this website to track nutrients, weight and for inspiration and motivation. Also using NOOM to keep me motivated as well.

    Anyone near South Dakota? I'm moving there next spring from Texas and want to know what I'm in store for. Looking forward to the cooler summers and will be nice to see snow for a change. Not sure about the thought of having snow from October to April though.

    @forestfreek Thanks. I always think of Canada like Alaska or the North Pole.

    @wojothiele84 I'm on the border of MN and ND, and about 45 minutes from the SD border. What part of South Dakota are you moving to?

    The southern part of Ontario is on a par latitudinal with norther California. Ontario takes a weird dip South around the great lakes.

    And you're safe to fly in snow. You're always delayed because they spray the plane with antifreeze. If you're travelling in winter you just accept there will be a delay. I've sat waiting for de-icing in a blizzard.

    Well, starting after tonight because I’m drinking a glass of wine at the moment.....😬😂

    I don’t think I can do a totally dry November but I am planning on cutting way back.
    We got our first little bit of flurries yesterday (SE Michigan) 😱 I’m not ready!!!!

    I try to do that too. I like the idea of trying a dry Nov other than Thanksgiving day (and packing away for now all those wine bottles we brought back from the NY wineries last weekend).

    So I gave in and was tempted by a 25% off offer for Team Body Project. I got access to a week of a workout program and really liked it so why the heck not! I'm not paying to skate or curl this year so might as well spend something on myself. I've signed up for 3 months so we shall see. Already two workouts in for the day and I'm drenched in sweat.

    Then again keeping workouts playing on the tv is better than the constant election coverage or news of the attack in Vienna last night.

    I don't think pecan pie would be a usual Thanksgiving item. Usually pumpkin and apple because the apples are fresh! I make butter tarts which are basically pecan pie in tart form but with raisins

    Pecan pie is traditional in my house! From Pie n' Bugrger, yum.

    I’ve had pecan pie and I live in Canada 😂
    It’s a must to try, especially warm with vanilla ice cream 😍
    @AliNoveau - pics please if and when you do the spider 😊
    @cgrout78 - you’re gonna do great! Let us know how it goes 🤗

    Yes! Or warm with fresh whipped cream. Yum.
