Man, I love Mr. Mercer's rants!
I think there was a time when the city of Toronto called in the army because of snow.
http://archives.cbc.ca/environment/extreme_weather/clips/12772/I'm trying to convince myself it wasn't that, because if I remember correctly, it wasn't a lot of snow that the army was called in for.
Looking at Edmonton however, I really hope we get more snow this year. This far into December and I can still see old, dead grass clunked everywhere across the fields. It's a real shame there hasn't been more, the weather's really crazy. Although when on occasion things go wacky, people still remain calm and routinely engaged into whatever they've been doing, not act up and whine. Still, more snow is good. A white Christmas with waist-deep snow is the kind of Christmas for me!
