easy wood projects - starting the new year with a cold snap

easy wood projects

Ok seriously I want the rest of the world to know that Every Canadian West of the Manitoba border and East of the Quebec border view Ontario as Canadas biggest Joke! no lie, its where our corrupt Government wields its power, its where only in Canada could a crack smoking mayor stay in office (even if he is stripped of his powers)and head the biggest city in Canada..they should seriously change the name of Toronto to Ford City, why? because at least a third of the cities population actually plan to vote for him in their next election! proof that they just aint right in the head down there in Ontario land.

That aside, we in the central and western provinces laugh at Ontario due to their reactions over weather conditions, they really are a bunch of wimps!, they actually put out warnings to stay indoors when the temperatures reach minus 16 or below! That is laughable! here in Saskatchewan anything above minus 20 is considered a spring day! They cry at minus 20 while the rest of Canada deals with a balmy minus 35 as an average winter temperature... okay lets be fair here, most of the USA panics and freaks out at minus 20 and totally comes to a standstill when they get 2 or more inches of snow, In defense of the USA most of their states are normally above zero during winter, since that is normal for them, they often lack the tools, equipment,manpower, and finances to deal with sudden snow storms, I am pretty sure that the city of Regina Saskatchewan Canada has more snow plows and graders than can be found in the entire state of Texas, but still up here in Central Canada we do get a chuckle out of the so called "polar vortex" and its effects on the USA and Ontario.

For the record, while those down south were shocked and horrified at the minus 20 temperatures, up here in Saskatchewan Canada the temperature was minus 50 for nearly 2 weeks, yet we survived with absolutely no worries, our cars started (because we have block heaters and battery warmers on our cars) we didnt get into 20 car pile ups because we have winter tires (yall should invest in all season tires at the very least),we went outside in minus 50 to shovel our driveways and walkways and to get fresh air, our dogs went out to play and do their business, life went on as usual.

I mock Ontario but razz the USA, why? the last I checked Ontario was still part of Canada and being Canadian they should be ready to deal with anything the winters can throw at them,including freezing rain,frigid cold (and really minus 20, minus 25 isnt that cold ya bunch of wussies),point is they should be prepared simply because they live in Canada, but every winter they are as shocked as the state of Florida when the snow hits the ground!! Ontario is doomed to continue being shocked every winter because they really are not a hardy people, they have gone soft and I fear they may never toughen up.

I razz the USA in fun, because of the fact that most of it is made up of warm states that seldom get below zero, and a great many of them never get snow, so yes their shock and dismay is truly understandable, it actually is pretty serious when much of the states hits minus 16 or colder, as stated above I am aware that many states simply do not have the resources than their northern counterparts do, and why would they? they can go 20 30 years or more without snow or the needle dropping to the zero mark.
But heres a thought, the climate is changing, has been for the last decade or more, perhaps those in the south should start investing in winter clothing (even if they seldom use them,be prepared)maybe invest in 1 or 2 late model snow plows from other states , just buy 3 or 4 per year until you have a small army of plows and graders so when you do get hit with a winter storm you at least have something to clear the roads, it will happen again, maybe not next winter but it will happen again, be prepared, the climate is changing on a global scale rapidly.

There is a bright side to this year though, Spring officially begins March 20 , and that folks is only 70 days away!, of course up here in Saskatchewan Canada we will still be shovelling our driveways come March 20th, winter up here typically doesnt end until mid April, but this year I opted to become an "Optimist" and think positive.

okay folks it is getting late, stay warm, and remember 70 days until spring!
