I want to like fall more, but more often than not, it never stops raining and it's over way too fast. It's just the impending asshole winter that starts late October/ early November here. Back home, I was never more than a 20 minute drive from a good lake, so that's definitely something I miss a lot. Turns out Alberta doesn't believe in lakes, and most of the things that Albertans call lakes are glorified puddles and bogs.

Whoa that sucks having winter so early. =[.

Normally we get snow right around Christmas, a couple big snow storms in January and February, and then it just stays below freezing until spring. 

We got down to -40 with the windchill this year. :toot
