This year has been crazy. Long frost with sparse scorching weeks.

My year's been pretty normal.  We had just a tiny bit of snow the other day, which I suppose is a little early but there wasn't enough to actually show up, it melted the moment it hit the ground.

Two years ago it was around 80 on Christmas, and last year half the state was shut down by a level 3 snow emergency.  Schools were out for a full week, and I used that time to power-level my Death Knight in WoW's mining and blacksmithing all the way to the maximum.

Good lord that was a nightmare.  Five full days of running around in the low-level areas, people asking for help, people wanting me to run them through stuff, mining copper, making a total of like 3 or 4 gold from crafting, and spending who knows how much.  I think I spent like a thousand gold on various materials, but that may have been something else.  Most of my WoW-playing days have been repressed, and it's all fuzzy.

Not snow-related, but earlier this year, or maybe this summer, I don't remember, whenever that big hurricane went through the south.  Not Katrina, the more recent one.  Anyway, we got what was left of the hurricane in the form of 70-ish MPH winds.  The power was out all over the state for almost a week in some places.  People were acting like it was the apocalypse.

We got two inches of snow in Hull a few years ago.
That's about as extreme as it gets.

Are you saying the snow is worse in the twilight zone? Because i live in Winnipeg, in everywhere else.
