I took my husband to the Oregon airport once when it snowed and couldn't believe the icy conditions. It took hours to get back home with several tractor trailers jackknifed on the highway. Hope you never have that problem. It was fun following through and matching your memories with mine.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09144857256396400731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-67946448339659612672013-11-26T08:54:23.716-08:002013-11-26T08:54:23.716-08:00I got a chill just thinking of minus 40 Celsius.

I still prefer the summer heat in Arizona.

Unfortunately, the year I lived there we only had rain so my daughter, who was on the ski team in high school, had to ski on ice.

Good thing in hilly Astoria because snow brings traffic and usually commerce, too, to a stop. I love the stick to prod your husband with, also. But, unlike Jen in Edmonton, we don't see much sun in the winter - although this year has been unlikeMuriel Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065629068634892645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-90186119259763047162013-11-26T07:44:29.210-08:002013-11-26T07:44:29.210-08:00Growing up in Newfoundland and now living in Edmon...Growing up in Newfoundland and now living in Edmonton, I just can't escape SnowDays lol But I love it:) At least in Alberta it is sunny for most of the winter, so while we do suffer through several weeks of minus 40 Celsius weather in January, the sun's out-who can complain lol:)Jennifer Snow https://www.blogger.com/profile/11612858248083325495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-65934921918274750202013-11-26T07:36:43.565-08:002013-11-26T07:36:43.565-08:00I loved skiing when I was younger and my bones did...I loved skiing when I was younger and my bones didn't object to the cold. In Washington state the fun thing was night skiing at Snoqualmie Pass. We'd get off work, pack skis, kids and food and off we'd go. It was cold, crisp and clear most of the time and even if it snowed the lights on the ski runs made it magical. I had to give it up when my joints objected.
