winter has hit

its soooo cold. and wet. i had a 4 day weekend. i spent a good part of the weekend curled up in the house, often with the heat on. i think i needed that rest. its annoying that my laundry took the ENTIRE weekend to dry though (piled onto our little clothes horse--is that what they're called?-- and sitting over the heat vent or in front of the space heater any time they were on). i'm sure there has been more rain than what the rainfall chart above says (there's a MASSIVE puddle in my garden where the watter won't drain into the dirt and there's huge puddles around the neighbourhood). it's not even 5:30 and already the temperature is below 10C (less than 8 with the wind chill). apparently it's gonna get even colder tonite than what it was last nite (i hate early mornings when its cold).
