Toronto / Pickering Canada
Sunday - Dec 15 @ noon

I hate to see all those messages "Hot, Hot, Hot"...  :)
My fingers are finally defrosted, making it possible to send a message about OUR weather......

And that's BRUTALLY COLD....!!!!  >:(

We're in a terrible 'Deep-Freeze',  caused by a massive bundle of Artic Air, blown with a NW wind and all of that is accompanied by the "S" Word.........SNOW..!!!
The Windchill for the last few days showed temperatures below - 20 C, and that's NO FUN to do the Christmas Shopping. >:(  >:(

Current Conditions:
Temp: - 8.5 C
Apparent Temp: - 11.7 C
Humidity: 62%
Precipitation: Snow Flurries
Baro: 1008 mb
Winds: NW ~ 15 - 25 km/h

For now this will stay at least another week, so MAYBE there's a REAL WHITE CHRISTMAS on the horizon... :)

Keep you posted,
Cheers,

Arthur
