It's 'fudgin' cold here today. Though sunny, it's only warmed up to a balmy -19C so far (feels like -34C with the wind). Temp is good enough to make yer boogers freeze upon first inhale. 'tis just a little too chilly for soaker weather. Granted, I hear it is far colder in Western Canada, but heck, it's pretty chilly here, too.

Oh well... my mini rant for the day...

...and I still can't find new soakers here. Go fig' Wonder if the weather has something to do with it. :goofy:

:cool:

Pretty much the same here, guess that may be because you're pretty close by (how close I can't tell you). It stinks not being able to soak, and I've been having soaker withdrawl for almost a month. I just try to get over it by modding my soakers and nerfing, but I'm running out of mod ideas, duct tape, and nerf darts. I hate winter. More specifically, I hate that winter's cold.

It warmed up to 20 F here. Last Friday it was like -35 F with windchill. They said you could get frostbitten in 10 minutes. Of course, with the increase in temperature, they're also predicting more snow, up to 3 inches. Not much, but I like a conspicuous abscence of snow.

Nope, it was +8C on Vancouver Island. The rest of British columbia varied abit, but for the west coast of canada(the populated part) its relativly warm. But it rained alot.
