We had a weeeee little bit of snow yesterday!! And the t° has remained under the freezing point today, so it's even been sticking around. Exciting!! They're forecasting rain for tomorrow, but still freezing temperatures, so I don't know how that will pan out. They're forecasting -8°C on Wednesday with more snow. I might finally have a tiny bit of winter!

As everybody in the know has been pointing out when seeing my icon, Québec has NOT been cold this year, except on the night when I took this picture. This icon is not a complaint about the cold, but a longing for it. Note my smile.

*** ETA: I finally went outside tonight: snow everywhere, slippery roads, some slush, boots necessary. Man, this is the climate I was raised to live in. I would certainly adapt to other climates, but I really really dig winter.

So I went to the bakery. They had just closed the cash so they couldn't sell me the loaf of wholewheat bread I wanted, which they were giving away to the food bank, but for some reason they weren't donating the scones, bread rolls and flatbreads, so I got a bag full for free. Score!

come to quebec right now and you will get an ASSLOAD of snow, my friend. it's been snowing all afternoon.... and continues to do so, this very minute. there's probably a foot or so, and growing.

Hehe. Yeah, all the weather we get here travels to Montréal and Québec City due to the jetstreams, except that it gets multiplied by 10 by the time it gets there =) Toronto is this weird twilight zone, the "Mississauga triangle" where all snow-bearing clouds that travel between Buffalo and Montréal go off the radar...
