Weather

Hey everyone, don't all book your plane tickets at once but Winnipeg's enjoying some truly invigorating cold weather right now! Aw, it's just great: snow on the ground, icy sidewalks (just in case you made it through the winter without falling, you sneaky-deek!), and the wind! Oh the wonderful have-your-clothes-ripped-off-while-trying-to-maintain-your-composure wind! Mmm, throw some dust and debris into the mix - now you're having fun!

Yeah, it's horrid here. At first there was talk that the whole mess would pass over us. Apparently the weather system, cleverly nicknamed Mother Nature You Whore, started out in Vancouver, then Calgary and Saskatchewan took turns in front of the ol' crap chucker. And at that point we were still actually thinking, ha ha, losers! Look at us for once: sauntering around in our short sleeves like frat boys at Mardi Gras.

But alas, when is Winnipeg ever the exception when it comes to places getting shat on? When word got out that there was an opportunity to take part in some seriously horrid weather, Winnipeg could not wait to get involved. It sprinted over to that sign-up sheet as soon as class let out ("no running in the hall, Winnipeg!") and proudly scrawled its name with a capital "W."

WINNIPEG: Hey Vancouver, this year they're offering a bonus tutorial called Tsunami: Is It Time? Cool, huh?
VANCOUVER: Ugh, you're actually into this? I'm only signing up because I told Calgary I would.
WINNIPEG: Uh...yeah, me too!
CALGARY: Whattup, queers. Hand me that pencil.
