Why did they give us an extra day of winter every four years?

I hear Obama is going to move it to July 32nd.

Right after he does away with the DH.

A balmy +7C. And I've had it. I've hit the wall with winter and cabin
fever. I received an email last night from my canuck friends wintering down
in Palm Springs. Next year I'm accepting their invitation to spend snow
free months in that clime. It may be a bit cozy couch surfing in their
mobile home, but I'm going to do it. I swear.

It was +15 here (60F about), which was nice. However, since I spent
most of the day trying not to kill various people at the Purolator
courier company, it felt warmer.

Charlene? Are you getting one of those wacky chinooks that I used to know
and love when I lived in Calgary?

It's just very warm. There's no west wind and no arch, just really
warm temperatures (for Calgary in February). It isn't supposed to be
as warm tomorrow, though.
