I have it on good authority that the cold you are reporting is merely a mass hallucination. The World is actually on track for the third warmest winter on record......

This of course explains the very warm Christmas you had, and the blazing temperatures Florida is about to get!

That's right! It's not really going to be snow flurries, just a widespread advertisement for soap flakes.

Simple, right?

And will explain any outbursts of sneezing, too (I can't be the only one that soap flakes cause sneezing in)

Actually. I think it's all my fault. Back in December I went to Disney MGM Studios and Magic Kingdom for their holiday events. And during that time, they had soap flakes falling from the sky to simulate snow flurries.

I turned to the missus and said: "how crazy would it be if we actually had snow..."

And now it's 49F outside :-p

Temperature in Edmonton has bounced between -10 and -25 C the past few weeks - not bitter cold but not exactly tropical breezes. Very little snow fall since early December, 5 cm here and 5 cm there - about 30cm on the ground.

Forecast calls for +2 C by Monday. Plus 2! Might even stay above 0C for a few days. Could even get puddles of water in the streets. Imagine that, unfrozen water, outside, just lying there on the ground.

Why do they call it a duck-billed platypus? I mean, sure, it's got a duck-like bill, but it's not like there's a chicken-billed platypus (mass: 1 henway), or a dollar-billed platypus (the platypus is on the Oz 20-cent coin), or a gerbilled platypus (because they're not into any of that kinky stuff - I know, I've asked)? I mean really, it's like saying "long-necked giraffes" or "legless snakes" or "unfunny Will Ferrell movies". It means poor Shel has typed way more letters than necessary, and she's got better things to do. We should make a point to erase "duck-billed platypus" from popular usage. Who's with me?! FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT! JOIN THE INTERNATIONAL WORLD ASSOCIATION FOR THE ELIMINATION OF THE NEEDLESS UNNECESSARY UNREQUIRED REDUNDANT VERBIAGE OF EXCESS WORD USAGE.

Also, it's sunny here. Warmish. I might go for a swim.

Cheers,
Marc

Well, platypus actually means "with wide/large feet". So duck-billed just completes the description. Completes? NO! It should actually be called egg-laying, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, venomous but cute platypus! At the very least!

Light snow outside. It was about time, all these promises of extreme weather conditions and we only have about 10-15cm of frozen snow on the ground.

Precisely! It's madness I tells you, and I knows madness (Not the band. I mean Mr. Madness who rents a room upstairs in the attic and makes all the strange, crashing noises and sweetly vile odours).

Also, it's not very sunny here at the
moment. Mostly because it's after 10pm. It's a warm 25C here, or it would be if I didn't have the air conditioning on. Sleeping happens above the sheets.

Cheers,
Marc
