There goes the nice weather !!!

Its bloody snowing in waterloo !!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

and supposedly its sunny in scarborough. snowing in toronto downtown area as well !!!

and yes, this deserves a thread DAMMIT !!!

not looking to hot in e-town either...sunny but only 5 degrees...

i hate this place already and now this !! how the hell am i supposed to go to the mosque for iftar now? its sooo cold and miserable.

buy your own food, ya cheap a**

aura, you still see some light... its all white here !!! m in the wrong province.

today was the first time i had planned to go to the mosque for iftar and now this. a sign perhaps? maybe the biryani wasnt good today?

i even shined ma slippers today. uncouth weather !!

it was sunny at about 2:00 PM in Scarborough, flurries at 3:00, sunny again at 4:00, flurries again at 5:00, and now the sun is on its way down ...

mausam bhi confused hai !!!

no offense to you guys, but seriously toronto/GTA kinda blows...went there last summer and the drives from one place to another takes hours...the weather doesn't seem to be all that as you have pointed out...plus, i hate the leafs...ideal canadian city is vancouver...i will move there one day...smoke hydro sitting atop grouse mountain on a pleasant summer day...nothing can beat that...however, e-town will always be home base...

It's raining her in Halifax for the whole day, kind of reminds me of England weather...At least it isn't snowing.....

flurries in B-town


love it!

Make snowmen najafafa.

It's raining here; I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee rain.

Snow would be great if it wasn't so cold.

35 degrees and extremely HOT over here

lucky you...i have never seen snow

same here

in the 60s over here...

today we got our first few centimeters of what is going to be many feet of snow this year
-3 celsius today which is not bad so cant really complain yet

anything under 30= BAD!

its is all relative.....id prefer that it be 30C but id rather have it be -3C for a few months compared to -40C

and i said the same when i had never seen snow. tbh, snow is beautiful. when it first drops, soft and fluffy and all that, one says SubhanAllah. its the wind after that makes me cringe.

aish kar !!!!

rain i love as well, the smell of it !!

dont think i would bother making snow(wo)men, a snowfight is well worth it.

-40 C??? are you serious?? I have lived all my life in 30 to 50 C so i wonder how i would feel if i were to visit your city....

you are right, toronto has gone to the dogs. never liked it and am stuck here for a few.

Now cue another Canadian to say how good it is in Calgary these days

you would be terribly uncomfortable....the coldest it has ever been here is -47.8C or -54F but with the windchill (similar to humidex effect) it has gotten as cold as - 57.1C or -70.8F depends on when you come....in the summertime you would feel like you are at home because we get temps over the 30's regularly. theres always chores to do if your a kid growing up...in the summer you have to cut the grass and in the winter you have to shovel the snow off of your driveway..but snow isnt predictable... it could snow at the most inappropriate times(like a cricket match) and my dad would make me go shovel

you get used to it...i have an advantage though being indian and brown skinned i can handle extreme heat without my skin burning and being born and raised in winnipeg i can handle extreme cold because of experience

Man what a difference... from 80 F to -70 F.There sure are some weird places on our planet and Winnipeg is definately one of them!


that's a very positive way to look at it and another thing that i like is that even though you were born in Canada you are still a big cricket fan unlike my American born cousins don't give a toss about cricket...

Rained all day here in Ottawa. Hate Toronto anyways. Rarely visit there nowadays. However Montreal rocks.

wait till winter, puttar. this is only a taster ;)

ha ha....time to say bub-bye to them until nxt yr

i have a feeling this winter is going to be pretty ugly. but then last winter was bad too remember? ...this is not fair 2004 was mild, 2005 was bad...

im in texas.. i would die for cold weather down here.

yes this winter will be unforgiving. should have bloody moved to bc when i had the chance. need something cosy for now.

true razzler, montreal is the place to be. as a friend once put it, what women, the city is irrelevant.

appetiser ne hi bhook maar di. yar, waterloo is such a depressing place, or perhaps its me. not sure anymore.

i agree, its kinda boring but i dunno about depressing. in any case, you have to get used to it. in fact...i kind of like the tranquil surroundings (i always get this when i say this).

as for the snow...well im the kind of person who makes it in class on the last minute or a few minutes late, so you can imagine what snow does to me but to be honest, i kinda like walking in the snow as well (if you minus the winds, that is).

btw, visit the masjid for iftar. you're missing out.

was gonna drag myself to the masjid today but wasnt meant to be. also its kinda far from my place and the buses are well.. subhanAllah. by missing out, you meant food or lectures? seeing that you are in CS, i would think food. ha!!

well the buses are crap. i rode a bike all throughout (except last term when i stole the car from my ma). biking is really good in the summer, but in the fall it can be painful. winter is, obviously, out of the q.

oh btw, just a warning...watch the snow melt with some rain, then freeze into ice and then it being re-covered with snow. when you walk on that, you will be treading on thin ice...literally!!

as for the masjid, well the food (oh the variety), the lectures (only during taraweeh though) and in general, the atmosphere. its really cool. plus, you get baklawas

Come to Halifax then

I've been to a couple of masjid iftar in waterloo, was a good exprience. I'm planning on going this weekend.

Forget 35, its about 38/39 in my area. Must be at least 40 in your parts. I miss the summer in Bahrain. At least there you had the AC to keep your sanity and didnt have that massive hole in the Ozone

What a wuss....

Good day to work on my tan I guess

Go play in the snow. Besides, in the absence of ACs you open the windows. In come the pesky flies and moths. Absolute nuisance.


Go sunbath on the streets of Blacktown and see if you enjoy it

No snow yet here matey, just lots of Rain....

am seriously contemplating transfering to another province/city for next year. it is a bloody loo!!

That is true, I went to visit the campus and city of Waterloooo when I was deciding where to go for university, absolutely hated it....Just come here

I don't understand all the waterloo hate. I quite like it...

halifax is too big a leap for me now. london seems more appealing and the uni is good as well. montreal would be a treat.

its because you havent seen better my dear boy. btw, arent you from bc? so you have seen better. what on earth are you about right now? waterloo... you like it? its gone to the dogs, i say, the dogs !!

yes I am from Vancouver. I don't know...people say it's boring here but with my studies I don't have time to be doing so many different things. I guess I'm enjoying being in a smaller city after living in Vancouver for so long.

btw, the question has to be asked......why are we up at this time?? Especially me, I have class at 8:30.

education is always outside the class dear boy. having said that, do make your classes. i don't, except for the labs. cant really squander my time sitting in a class.

come to e-town...we'll cheer the oil together then party it up on whyte...

45 degrees here during the day.

3 degrees C.
77% humidity.

we were supposed to have a local league play-off match here.. i guess we can kiss it goodbye.. supposed to rain throughout the weekend.

yes yes, we can cheer the oil, party it up on the whyte, some mary j to flame the mood and what not. splendid aura, splendid.

things are looking up for us.......from -4C today we can expect a blistering 6C tomorrow.

cheer up nafa the weather is supposed to be pretty good next week.

ppl living in canada shud shift a little and move to north pole

weather in NY has been a delight for the last week. Sunny and in the laste 60 to upper 70. i love fall in NY. great tempratures and red leaves....simply great

finally some snow / fluries today. i was actually missing it

Believe it or not but Bahrain is about to experience record low temps by next week ! 0C could be felt by Thursday, 18th Jan !

yes and pakistan ahs recorded the lowest in it's history as well. where as we have recorded the highest since 1982 or something like that. it was 13 oc a few days back...in jan here it's a big deal... around this time it's usually -40.

over here in london..seasonly warm 13-14 degrees! night temperatures of 7-11... no snow whatsever... normally temp daytime is about 4 or 5 degrees lower.

-9c today...but the windchill just killed me today while i was shovelling....felt like my fingers were going to fall off.........my new years was ruined as we were snowed in with 35 centimeteres of snow falling dec 31

Funny when this thread was started I thought winter had arrived and we were in for a cold one. As it is, it's been incredibly mild and is just starting to show up.

we had a great december in e-town...today we had the worst blizzard since 1989...10 cm of snow and -30 with windchill...its going to be gross for a couple of days...

Aurengzub.....you live in Edmonton? That is a shame I could have met you! I was in Edmonton during the past week on a busienss conference and I attended Eid prayer on Saturday Dec 30th at SportEx! It was such a dull Eid and so lonely because I sat there and knew no one at the prayer :S

Anyways, najaf what year are you in Waterloo? How come I still havent met you considering I live down the street!

damn dude that sucks!...hopefully next time you have a conference here, let me know beforehand...the sportex blows bigtime...i don't even know why they have it there every year...one year they had it right in rexall place in the rink...that was awesome, but it was difficult for old people to get down so they reverted back to the crappy sportex...

I dont think I am gonna be having any more conferences anytime soon! I completely forgot you live in Edmonton! next time I should ask people where they are from before I go! lol.

My next conferences in Montreal, Downtown Toronto followed by Montreal again.

It's been surprisingly cold this winter in Kuwait. Temperates have gone to the lowest of 1 degree.

Average these days is around 9-10. That's cold for Kuwait. Really cold.

lol...thats just childs play....we send our kids to go out and make snowmen in that kind of weather

-40c outside today with the windchill.....for those who live in warm climates its hard to describe the pain that one feels on their face and hands the second they step outside

Everyone talking about cold weather ... thought I might share the beaut weather here in Brissie. 30 degrees top and a nice clear day.
