I wouldn’t necessarily bet on it. In '79, my dad’s flight out of Shefferville was canceled due to snow. On June 17th.

If you promise to keep me warm, I’ll brave the wilds of the north. But only for you. 😃

Just wait until you hear me complain about SUMMER… 😃 I’d prefer the temperature to stay under 45" celcius this year. And no more plagues of aphids, please. They were gross. Were’t they fun, **RickJay**? Were you around for the aphid plague? \*\*

Yes indeedy. And the followup ladybug infestation, although ladybugs are cute. The cuteness wears off when 500 of them find their way into your house.

I’m convinced the weather is good for the Canadian economy, because while we don’t have many natural disasters (although I was at ground zero for the '98 ice storm) we keep the furnace AND the air conditioning people in jobs. Every winter I freeze my ass off and every summer I melt it off. And
