Winterizing???
Winter is when it rains!
Is this right???
Saw snow in Australia once - only good for keeping your beer cold in!
Not much good for anything else.

    How 'bout skiing? or snowboarding, or tobogganing? It's also a great excuse to cozy up in front of a warm fire with that special someone.

    They say that the corner of Portage & Main St in Winnipeg is the coldest intersection in Canada during Jan-Feb. I dont doubt it and i dont wanna go there.

    Portage and Main - Yeah I think that was where I stayed !!!!!!!!!
    Na it was somewhere west of the city really - that was bloody cold.
    My mate knew 3 guys that played for the Winnipeg Jets, so we hung out with them a bit - they even taught me to ice skate! They forgot to get me to wear a beenie, and I froze my ears - what an idiot eh? They still hurt to this day when the weather gets really cold (3 - 5 deg C), thats cold for us.

    Well if this year is anything like last year ... we could be boating on christmas~!

    Man it was a warm one. Which is why im hoping September stays semi warm and nice till about Thanksgiving (Oct 7th.. not November), then put the boat around then.

    A thread on winterizing would be great.

    I have always paid to have it done... but do take satisfaction in knowing how to do it myself.
