Monster storms
This is Leo the cat. Its owner in Chicago posted this photo to a newspaper saying the "storm of historic portions" was no match for Leo. He does seem determined to get the best of it!
I went onto the TimesColonist today and was pleased to see that Canada also blames the US for the
weather sometimes. We often read down here that the "cold front from Canada..."
"The system, which originated in the United States and clobbered much of northern Indiana and Illinois, Missouri and Oklahoma, dumped between 10 and 15 centimetres on parts of southern Ontario on Wednesday morning. The winter storm warning was lifted for the region around 11 a.m."
This storm is even affecting the desert and the temps are lower today and will be very low tonight. We still got our swim, hot tub and sunbathe this morning.
