Who's from the great white north?
Why do you call it 'The Great White North"?

We call NZ, "The land of the long white cloud" because that's what the natives called it when they living here, the native word is "Aotearoa".

Because of these awesome 80's skits from SCTV (Second City Television - a comedy show like saturday night live) :D


There's a song that goes with it sung by Geddy Lee of Rush (my favorite band!)

I’m in Windsor, as pretty much as south as you can get in Ontario. Detroit is north to us. Still cold.

About -23C this morning. Not a lot of snow... just enough to have to shovel the driveway at least once a week.

Feels like -18 with the Windchill right now where I am. Its getting warmer lol! Jan was pretty much -25 and tons of snow. Which is weird bc it usually doesn't snow when it's super cold out.

On Wednesday, January 30th, we had an arctic blast hit the US with windchills as low as -60 degrees in the northern states and where I live in Missouri, that morning when I got to work, the temperature was -6 degrees with a wind chill of -23 degrees. When I left work that afternoon, it had only warmed up to +4 degrees. There was some fake news that said mail delivery was suspended that day for most of Missouri, but we still delivered the mail that day. It was not a good day to be a mailman. Not sure I could survive winter in Canada. :giggle:

I know there are some communities with old-fashioned foot-delivery mail carriers... mine isn't one of them. We have a central post office, so instead of the mailman freezing to death bringing the mail, we have dozens of residents freezing to death going to retreive their mail. Gotta love progress! ;)

And all this time I thought that people north of the 49th parallel took a cue from the grizzlies and hibernated all winter.

We're just awake enough to share our weather generously with y'all. :)
