Now that summer is officially over, i wish it would snow! But the problem is i live in London, England and we get about 2 hours of snow a year and it never settles. We had a great July over here, it was really hot, then August was a wash out of heavy rain and thunderstorms. Just when everyone was getting redy for Autumn, September has turned out to be pretty great, over 25*C everyday. I cannot believe that it is that cold in Alberta already. Summer only ended a few weeks ago and it is below zero for you guys, crazy!

But i guess you guys are used to the winter season coming in with all the snow, having to change your tyres on your cars and all that stuff. Over here if we get some snow, they close the trains and roads for safety reasons, everyone complains about this crazy weather! and no one goes to work because they were "snowed in" under a whole 2cm of snow! Schools close so all the kids go outside to snowfight which really means scrape black snow off cars until they get bored and get drunk instead.

The first time i was in Calgary, i left the airport and there was about 2 foot of snow and i was so excited, my girlfriend was looking at me like i was crazy, but to me anything more than half an inch a day is a blizzard!

Hopefully i will be in Calgary/Vancouver/Saskatoon for Christmas so i can enjoy the snow again. Last time i was there Calgary made it to the final, i left the day before game seven and we lost, maybe i was their lucky charm, haha.

Enjoy the weather folks, i will enjoy the rain and wind we get for 9 months of the year here.
