Hello CanadianLori, you are doing a bit better out east then. Here in Calgary it's 8am, -29C and -40C wind chill. I made sure the bird feeders were topped up last night so I cold drink lots of coffee this morning.

@johnny canoe - I shivered when I read that! I shovelled my way to the bird feeder (well, it wasn't far) yesterday and filled it.

This year seems to me to be the "typical" Canadian winter I remember as a kid

I had rain last night, now it is all dark. I have removed all the sheets protecting the plants and now the temperature dips again!

2 to 5 or 4c is my luck. I hope to work outside again. But it's now so dark that I can't be bothered to get rid of the rubbish yet!

It's actually raining snow droplets.. Very tiny, clinging on to my black top. Drizzly and miserable!

Must be lovely living in Florida!

Still no snow here Lori and this morning at 1C is a lot warmer than yours but I think I'd swap you just for a change to get rid of Blackie; it poured with rain most of the day yesterday and this morning when I set off to the supermarkets just after 7 o'clock it was sleeting a bit; it's now 8:48 and daylight is just arriving.

Forecast Summary

• Thursday
  A dry, fine and sunny day is expected. Whilst the recent brisk winds will ease, it will remain cold.
  

Sure; they can expect a fine sunny day for us here tomorrow and I can still dream on.

I don't envy you the cold Lori and johnny canoe; you must be needing antifreeze in your mugs of tea?

Kind regards, Colin.

@Colin there are other additives to keep a cuppa from freezing... just don't want to be legless by 10 a.m.!

We are at -14, 6f and to have a high of -10c, 7f then expecting a low of -6c, -21f.

A 30% chance of flurries is guessed for but in my area last summer, anything under a 50% chance of rain produced not a drop. Don't know if it will be the same for snow.

Nice one Lori.

If our forecasters forecast rain for every day of the year for our home they would achieve a very high correct score Lori; I've often said we suffer 9 months winter and 3 months bad weather; 2017 has been a washout AGAIN.

All around us has been troubled by snow but Blackie rules here.

We've got the two worst months still ahead of us and if it snows badly our neighbour John will be out clearing the street with his big JCB digger bucket.

Once we're into the New Year I'll be able to relax and potter around; at the moment I don't feel like doing much and my enthusiasm is low; holiday periods always throw me off balance but I'll soon be making up for this short idle period; roll on springtime then I can go mad wondering what to do first.

Kind regards, Colin.

I find the shorter days a bit depressing. I battle it by trying to garden inside. Yesterday I went through knee deep snow to get a bag of potting soil to bring in- like carrying a big frozen pillow -really weird! It is thawing nicely and I will be making lots of soil blocks to start seeds and at the same time flip the bird to old man winter

At 89% humidity and 10mph wind with rain it is just a raw weather day today.

Lori: If at all possible, it might be a good idea to keep your compost near your fire as the warm compost will do a lot of good to seed germination. Bet you know this already. We have 1 to 5c today, with a lovely strong cup of tea to keep me company. I have replaced a hot water bottle in the lean to and the candle is still warming the ceramic pots and then might be the lean to.
