Where is all the snow? And ice? And winter? I think I'm starting to believe in global warming. What if the plants all started growing because they thought it is spring? All the people from Florida that come all the way up to Canada to see snow are in for a little surprise. Oh well. They won't see any NHL or snowmobiles, but at least they have Tim Hortons coffee. Which, ironically, includes cups with art on them featuring what winter is supposed to look like. Maybe they should change the picture to something more realistic, like mud and rain. Then again, if we got any more than six inches of snow, the entire city of Brantford would go into environmental crisis reaction. Around here, people are so paranoid of snow, they bring in the snow ploughs three weeks in advance of the forecasted centimetre of precipitation.
The ski resorts are not making any money right now, that's for sure. I like to imagine a Christmas holiday including sledding, snowboarding, snowmobiles, and so on. In the stark reality, however, we sit inside and watch the rain make puddles on the driveway. Oh well. At least I have my Timmies.
