Don’t Make Promises …
This is exactly why I don’t make promises - ‘cause when I do,
I inevitably break them. This week, I’ve broken two (it was inevitable.)
I promised myself I would not blog (whine) about the
weather one more time (this year) and I promised that as soon as a Tour de
Garages mystery bike was guessed I’d have the next blog post ready.It was Mother Nature, she made me do it, I swear. Having been hit by not one, but two major storm systems in one week has taken the wind out of my sail, just when I thought I’d be sailing into spring. As soon as I get myself dug out from under the latest nasty, wet, miserable, heavy, discouraging, deep layer of snow I will post about the Triumph Trident (Coop guessed it) – I promise!
And if you think it looked nasty last night, you should have seen it after another 4 inches this morning! (The large white dots - not UFOs ... just the flash reflecting off the giant snowflakes.)
Just another Canadian February. The good news is it's going to last for at least one more day … IN LIKE A LION! (And that's good news because spring will be here...Saturday, right?)
Canadian winters suck! They seem to e never ending. I am the one who shouldn't be complaining because we have had a very wet winter, but gross just the same.
ReplyDeleteDar - We Are Canadian - We Have The Right
ReplyDelete(a) To complain about the winter and (b) To complain about not having won a thing with Roll Up The Rim...what's with that?
We might actually be North of you Karen but you've got that pesky water upwind that showers you with all of that white. It will end, and like us, that above freezing ambient air will start accomplishing something once the white blanket melts away.
ReplyDeleteChins up......it's going to turn!
Ah, so all we need is to have someone fill in Lake Ontario? Just kidding, I don't think I know anyone with a dump truck that big. But really, the mercury is supposed to rise steadily ...
DeleteWe got just enough snow to keep me off the roads this morning. I think it gets harder to accept with it being March. Intellectually I know we get snow in March, but March is, well, Spring...not...yet.
ReplyDeleteBut, soon it will be Spring...even in Canada...maybe.

Just to remind you that Half of March is still winter (in some places boo hoo - I will try a post a photo of the snowbanks that have piled up behind my house.) Being short, I'm not good at estimating height, but if I had to I'd say 8 feet (but to me everything looks tall.)
DeleteI feel your pain, the snow just won't quit here either! I keep telling myself: But just think, there's no mosquitoes!
ReplyDeleteEnvironment Canada tells me we've had well over 20cm more than the "average" February ... but the good news is, March should be well above "average" temperatures. So true about the bugs though, but really, as long as you don't stop the bike they don't bite you. {Snow/Bugs I'm trying to weigh it}
DeleteKaren:
ReplyDeleteexcept for the rain, it is Spring here. No snow, no frost and temps forecast up to 12°c today
and you don't have to keep promises you make to yourself, that's the LAW

Be Happy Bob skook - Rain is spring: April showers and all that! It's just that your April happens in March, just another blessing!
DeleteUh oh, our Spring came in like a lamb. Must mean we're going to get it at the end of March.
ReplyDeleteI really like the picture though. Snow looks so peaceful to me.
And with blogging. I find I have to be in the mood to write a post. If not, it doesn't go well and I have to rewrite things. When I am in the zone in flows. Write when the feeling strikes you.
I was envious Trobairitz ... right up until you told me your March came in like a lamb (bad weather omen - hee hee!)
DeleteIn all honesty, if you're going to have winter ... then it might as well look like the perverbial winter wonderland. It was a spectacular sight, trees hung heavy with snow, large wet snowflakes gliding to the earth.
Isn't there a saying that applies here when talking about waiting for better weather? Absence makes the heart grow.... no, I was wrong, that doesn't apply. Bad weather just increases the PMS levels - more in Canada than most places, I guess.
ReplyDeleteI hope it clears up soon for you.
Gary, you were correct the first time; absence (of good weather) makes the heart long for it with much fondness! But Environment Canada (and I believe them, she said, tongue in cheek!) tells me that though we've had more snow than usual in February, in March we will see higher than average temperatures. But truly, there are places with far more snow and much shorter summers (aka riding seasons) than we have here. {Give me 5 months and I'll be whining about how hot it is :0)}
