    I've never made a snow fort because I don't like the cold very much.

    This seems like a sensible solution if not for the fact that I kinda don't WANT to leave, since aside from the winter it's pretty great up here.

    But really, apparently salt works fine for that kind of thing. Dunno, I always lucked out of snow watch.

    Where's it usually kept? The garage? Toolshed? Basement? By the front door in the umbrella/cane/tool bin?

    Actually, if it's that snowy, how did the rest of the family get out of the house?

    I have no idea. And it's not that it's that snowy, I just want to get it done NOW so it doesn't like, settle in.

    I think just closer to the border would avoid most of the walls of ice and snow, even.

    I guarantee, with a little bit of heavy machinery, you can move the entire town. I suppose it depends on the size of some buildings (you probably can't move a block of apartment buildings or an industrial warehouse), but towns are mobile, when looked at correctly.

    Plus it's less expensive to just rebuild the town and only move certain plant-life that can't simply be planted and grown from seed or saplings.

    Or at least, the only time that I recall anyone has actually relocated a town, that's what they did because the other options were too expensive. Relative to purchasing the land and rebuilding an entire town somewhere else.

    Kiruna, Sweden's northest city, has moved from time to time, and is about to do so again, all due to the world's largest iron mine that happens to lie more or less directly under the town. It's controversial, but since the whole existence of the town is based upon said mine, the inhabitants aren't really in a position to fight it...

    Ahh, this reminds me of the winters when I was little, and they used to plough up a road across the lake on the way to mum's job. The improvised ice-road presented a great shortcut to mum, and even though I only ever was with her once or twice when she took that road, it's an image strongly imprinted on my mind.

    I still haven't found a good remedy for scaly lips (it's a problem for me all around the year, but even worse in the winter), but I know a cure for the darkness: Buy yourself one of those electric light strands you hang in the Christmas tree (it should be the small kind, not the large kind that pretends to be real candles, and make sure that it's certified for outdoor use), wrap it around a bush or other object of choice in your garden (preferably somewhere that's highly visible from inside your house) and link it up to a timer that lights it in the morning and evening. I don't care that it isn't christmas, the cosiness factor is simply too high to not be worth it.

    I can't remember any specific examples, but the last time I watched it through a few years ago I thought to myself, "You're lucky you are awesome, Gargoyles, or else this would really bother me." & as for Who Framed Roger Rabbit, it was one of my favourite movies as a child -- unique and campy and fantastic.

    Yes okay, on the other hand our heat waves in July go over 100 F, and we have more sunny hours in summer than some cities in California. One of my professors came from Ontario, who had also travelled to central Africa: and remarked that the summer sun here felt the same as there.

    So in Fahrenheit, that is a temperature range of -40 -- 100. -40 to 40 in Celsius. We don't get as hot as more equatorial locales, certainly, but we sure experience a broad range of climate.

    How lovely. It must have been peaceful to be driving out on a lake.

    The rivers here are ploughed for miles of walking and skating paths, with little huts and evergreen trees set up along the way.

    I still haven't found a good remedy for scaly lips (it's a problem for me all around the year, but even worse in the winter), but I know a cure for the darkness: Buy yourself one of those electric light strands you hang in the Christmas tree (it should be the small kind, not the large kind that pretends to be real candles, and make sure that it's certified for outdoor use), wrap it around a bush or other object of choice in your garden (preferably somewhere that's highly visible from inside your house) and link it up to a timer that lights it in the morning and evening.

    You know, that is a great idea. I love Christmas lights and the cozy atmosphere they provide. I'm especially fond of the LED strands and the intense colours they shine. I'm going to do just that.

    I keep a dish of clarified butter in the winter and kiss it every time I go out or come in from the cold, but even the relief of that becomes but nominal in the rimy depths of the beast.

    Yes okay, on the other hand our heat waves in July go over 100 F, and we have more sunny hours in summer than some cities in California. One of my professors came from Ontario, who had also travelled to central Africa: and remarked that the summer sun here felt the same as there.

    So in Fahrenheit, that is a temperature range of -40 -- 100. -40 to 40 in Celsius. We don't get as hot as more equatorial locales, certainly, but we sure experience a broad range of climate.
    The archmagus(or... Whatever Hudson siad. I dunno, i only started two nights ago. Xd) had the verb... Be appropriate to the situation. But Xanatos... Yeah, I couldn't. He's a bit too awesome. You know, a couple billion degrees too hot.

    Like, the USUAL heatwaves or... This summer? *shivers in fear even though talking about heat*. So damned hot, i did nothing but hide with the fans and thie air and the cold cold beverages.
    Can only thank GitP for being so good for so long.

    That's what Friday afternoon after club meetings was for in my book.

    Granted, that was because Friday night and Saturday night were usually given over to some kind of girlfriend fun time.

    You mean 35 degrees Celsius to 95 degrees Fahrenheit? Honestly, if I didn't have this beer gut and layer of fur, I'd love hot temperatures again, just like when I was a boy. Granted, I think children are more efficient about cooling themselves since there's less core to retain heat and much, much, much, much, much less fur.

    Can't stand the feeling of my joints not working properly because of the cold air though. Creeps me right the heck out.

    Hey now, don't make Moonie cry with your logic so that you can drink her tears. That's just mean. *mumblemumblemumble*

I don't care that it isn't christmas, the cosiness factor is simply too high to not be worth it.
    A quick fix if I'm recalling correctly can be acquired by being willing to rub your nose oils on your lips or being enough of a weirdo and having an S/O willing to play along with you kissing them on the nose. Or just making out regularly in general caused a marked difference between how bad my lips got in the winter. Or having an S/O. Honestly I'm not sure the exact cause there, ok.

    Light solution is a good one. They also have desk or floor lamps that have bulbs that produce "daylight" which are supposedly able to help people who are feeling blue because they're not getting enough sunlight in their lives. Helped keep me in better spirits when I had mine, but that could have been placebo too, haha.

    Tee hee, but he is also a bad-ass gentleman in addition to his wealthses' [can I say zis? Wealthses'?]. Not some entitled effete.

    *hugs* Were you not sheared properly this summer?!

    We did not get much hotter than usual this year, fortunately; the heat waves were longer and drier, that's all.

    Ooh, apropos of that, the wonderful hot season allowed me to grow this prize watermelon:

    Nose oils? That's just crazy enough to work, except that those, too, flake away like old leather, leaving stingy kleenex-scoured stucco in their stead.

    Fortunately this city also benefits from a rather unusual amount of sunlit hours in the winter too, so vitamin D deficiency & SAD are not as intense as in, say, Vancouver or Seattle.
