    I'm so sad about Ryan Smyth! No more 94... :( At least everything on Whyte won't be destroyed beyond all measure, though. I heard about that - it was depressing. I was actually visiting Edmonton when that happened - pretty intense, eh? At the same time, it was pretty cool because the police were all like, "We need your help identifying these people..." blah blah blah. Haha. Good times. Best of luck to the Oilers for the rest of the season (maybe all the way to the playoffs next year?), and for Ryan and the rest of his season.

    A friend just sent this to me, thought I'd share it. It's so very, very true :p

    If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 36" of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might be a Manitoban

    If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you might be a Manitoban.

    If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might be a Manitoban.

    If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might be a Manitoban.

    If "Vacation" means going south past Grand Forks for the weekend, you might be a Manitoban.

    If you measure distance in hours, you might be a Manitoban.

    If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you might be a Manitoban.

    If you often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and then back again, you might be a Manitoban.

    If you can drive 110 KM/H through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinchin, you might be a Manitoban.

    If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit, you might be a Manitoban.

    If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow, you might be a Manitoban.

    If you know all 4 seasons by: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction, you might be a Manitoban.

    If your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to your blue spruce, you might be a Manitoban.

    If down south to you means the U.S. border, you might be a Manitoban.

    If your 1st of July BBQ was moved indoors due to frost, you might be a Manitoban.

    If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you might be a Manitoban.

    If you find -20 degrees "a little chilly", you might be a Manitoban.

    If you actually understand these jokes, and you forward them to all your Manitoba friends, you might be a Manitoban

    Guess what. I am not a Manitoban at all :lol:.

    Falk. It snowed tonight & I almost slipped too. Oh, how I cursed that patch of icy snow on the sidewalk :mad:. I just want summer to come here already. Winter is a evil, evil season. I describe it as a bully who bothers you for 3 straight months :lol:.

    K, we had a freaking snow/ice/hail/whatever storm today, and I don't hear about it until Im in class. Like seriously, hello newspeople, broadcast this sh** to me before I leave the house in a non-winter coat. Kthx.

    And it's supposed to be +4 and nice out tomorrow, what the hell Mother Nature. Do you have PMS or something..? Make up your mind.

    Only three months?! Lucky. I may not be Manitoban, but I understood every single one of those jokes and actually laughed out loud at the one about the seasons - we have that here too. :lol:

    You sound like my mum :lol:

    It's was technically a winter jacket (it's made by Columbia) but it's not really that warm, so I usually wear an inner fleece from another jacket I have. But yesterday I didn't wear the fleece, so I was freakin' freezing. LOL.

    But now the snowing stopped, it rained a little last night and the snow's melting. What is that..?

    ^ 30 cm :eek:. Holy crap, that's lotsa snow.

    Starting this year I will go to a tropical location once winter hits Canada. Instead of being surrounded by miserable weather I will be somewhere in the Bahamas, having a margarita. Now, all I need is $$$.

    Anyone wanna contribute to the "Give Mina $$$" fund? C'mon, it's the best cause ever :lol:.
