    We got some here in Nacogdoches, and they predict some more later in the day towards the evening.

    Speaking of cold, I'm headed to Canada for snowboarding on Saturday. It's going to be a high of 3.2*F on Sunday!!!

    There was apparently a trace of snow last night in the Dallas area, but not much. It's 28 right now. I prefer the 30-degree weather in winter. But the temps are going to climb back up into the 60's by the weekend again, I think - that sucks.

    I've already decided...I'm going to retire in Vancouver. Hopefully when I'm 40.

    To me, Banff/Calgary looks like some towns that were probably really cool in the late 80s and 90s after they had the winter olympics. Vancouver/Whistler just seems more up to date with more stuff going on. Not to diss Calgary though, for anyone thats been to Lake Louise you are prepared to die happy and full-filled.

    I've been once before a few years ago, it's amazing.

    On a side note, is Victoria, BC worth visiting?

    Flying into Kelowna, then by van/bus from the silverstar resort.

    Can't wait. Funny that it's snowing here in tx, right before I go snowboarding. :D Thankgod for their recent snowfall, i was worried they wouldn't be open.
