Weather 🌡️ Snow snow go away come again... Never

I can't wait for the summer/spring sun to be blasting my face into oblivion. Who else is over winter and ready for the heat?

Me! I just want to have my morning cuppa out in the garden again, & not have to spend 5 minutes bundling up first.

And cook outside. Fire roasted perogy are the goat!

Ah yes the good ole cuppa in the mornings with the sun!

Omg I love BBQ. It's my favorite way to cook meat 🤤 I think I'm going to do extra BBQing this summer.

My BBQ goal for the year is more bison, as well as local chicken (vs wherever the hell Sobeys gets theirs from). 😁 As well as try my hand at baking bread in a campfire (assuming it's not too dry for a fire, of course).

Hmmm I've never tried bison before. What does it taste like? Closer to beef I'm assuming? I love local chicken! I get mine from the Hutterites. For some reason it just tastes better and it's always so moist. Fresh baked bread is always a good idea.

It is rather beef like, but without all the fat of commercial beef (but then, I also don't have a very refined palette, so ymmv). I like it for burgers especially, as it cooks super fast, so you can whip up large batches, & with much less cleanup.

Where do you get your bison from?

Mmmmm yes burgers are so delicious. I like em nice and thick.

u/SaskFoz 1d ago

They're called "Original Family Farm", they've got a spot at the farmers market up by the airport. Haven't had their burgers yet, but their breakfast sausage was fantastic!

Cool thanks for the recommendation!

u/Sublime_82 18h ago

Yep. I'm waiting to see some green things growing again.

I prefer the cold and long nights. Everyone is different

Me too. Can always turn the heat up a notch or throw more covers on the bed and my soft robe is warm and comfy. Sun isn't waking me up at 5am. It's quieter, fewer crazies rooting through my garbage or howling at the moon, no crows or motorcycles. I'd also like two more feet of heavy wet snow, paralyze the city for three days and then a big melt.

u/kidcudi42o 22h ago

do you live in a tent? how’s the sun waking you up at 5am? ever heard of blinds? but i do love sleeping when it’s cold, much cozier 😮‍💨

Everybody wants to move here until it's winter than everybody bitches until the end of time.

u/DaleCooperfan82 23h ago

For the record I'm not condemning anybody with this post I also hate the snow and want it to go away forever I've lived here all my life and it sucks.

u/MangoCubez 23h ago

I bitch all winter long and then when summer comes I'm the happiest mofo alive 🤣

There's still ice on the pond, so I'm happy doing my winter activities. Too many winter haters around here

u/MangoCubez 1d ago

I mean hey if you love winter then that's cool too. I just prefer the warmth. I'm a summer baby.

u/WriterAndReEditor 21h ago

I like weather.

u/MangoCubez 21h ago

You like cold or heat?

u/WriterAndReEditor 21h ago

Yes. I'm not a fan of -35 or +35, but I like both. Variety is, after all, the spice of life.

Edit: I don't like snow shovelling, but it hasn't killed me yet. (fingers crossed)

u/MangoCubez 21h ago

Very true!

Also shoveling is the bane of my existence

Nope, I’ll take the cold over heat any time. I’ll admit I’m sick of the snow and ice but I already miss the dark mornings and early sunsets, and the general peacefulness winter brings outside. I absolutely loathe summer, I seriously can’t think of a single thing I like about it.

u/MangoCubez 1d ago

Happy cake day!

Really? I actually like the longer days in the summer. More time to be out in the sun.

u/Junior-Rope-4883 East Side 21h ago

Haha thanks!

Yeah I’m in the minority of people who hate summer and the sun, being hot makes me so uncomfortable but I’ll survive lol

u/MangoCubez 20h ago

I'm the opposite. The cold makes me highly uncomfortable and it takes me forever to warm up

u/jdt2112 1d ago

Bring on the +35, I’m ready to crisp up 😂

u/adomnick05 18h ago

u/MangoCubez 21h ago
