yes, snow. the weather forecast calls for snow overnight. so Mrs piper and I went out and covered up her plants to protect them from the frost. I love Saskatchewan, but every so often the odd weather throws me for a loop. ---

I put my air conditioners in last night 😃 When’s the latest you’ve had snow up there? ---

> [@ugly ripe tomato](#): > > When’s the latest you’ve had snow up there? I can’t answer for **Northern Piper** , but as someone living in the northern US (MUCH farther south than **Northern Piper** is!), I can tell you it’s snowed every month of the year here, so I’m guessing Saskatchewan is no better. ---

No worries about snow here, but the morning news mentioned that the temperature got down to just above freezing somewhere near here. It’s that strange part of year here, when the weather can take some weird swings. ---

My neighbour plugged his truck in last night. But, seeing that it didn’t go below freezing, I think he might have been overreacting. ---

well, we survived without snow - just wet and cold, and today is a brisk clear day. now we take in all the sheets we put out last night, and wash them because they got dirty, and then wait for the next frost warning… ---

> [@Northern\_Piper](#): > > well, we survived without snow - just wet and cold, and today is a brisk clear day. now we take in all the sheets we put out last night, and wash them because they got dirty, and then wait for the next frost warning… I remember being snowed in on June 21st. In Pakistan. After having the AC on for the previous three days. ---

You Canadians get everything right but the weather. 😃
