The pool is at 50f/10c, not recommended for swimming. Plantain trees with snow on their leaves is just wrong:
At least I don't need to mow the lawn this weekend:

I'll tell you Eddie, that's as bad as Moscow and Salt Lake City combined.

Wow! Be careful when driving. You could end up in a snowbank. Take a bucket of sand with you in case that happens. And don't forget your tow rope and your survival blanket. And pour hot water on your back wheels to defrost your handbrake. (Any more siberian tip?)

Thanks Bruno, that should be enough to get us through. We formed an ice hockey team too, but disbanded after losing our first game to the synchronised swimmers.
