The days where I was almost at my end.

So Santa, where the heck is winter?

Last night as I was driving home from Meagan's in torrential rain this is the question I asked myself.

I remember Christmas' where you couldn't see out the window because it was so blustery. New Years' where we trudged in waist deep snow to shoot of fire works.

Now not only is there no snow in St. John's, there's crazy ass rain and mild temperatures.

Santa, you have some s'plaining to do.
"Climatologists have predicted 2007 will be the warmest year on record, but Canadians who have been trading their parkas for T-shirts over the past few weeks likely don't need experts to tell them something is up.

Environment Canada senior climatologist David Philips says the weather is gradually becoming warmer but Canadians shouldn't think current conditions herald a new winter reality.

"You can't use this as a forecast; you can't say this is the beginning of balmy winters from now on,'' says Phillips. "I think this is in fact a preview, a dry run of the normal winter that we'll see in 2030, 2040.''"
