Winter is here!

We got pretty lucky this year, as we had no snow at all in November, something that hasn't happened in about 70 years in Toronto! But one day after my 40th birthday (which was on December 8th) we ended up getting about 6-8cm of snow here in Mississauga. Not a major storm, but enough to make a lot of people (like me!) dream of warm sunny weather again! (is it spring yet??)

I was definitely glad I bought a new pair of back tires for the Vette! I was running Kumho ASX all seasons out back and they were simply horrible in the snow! I almost spun the car out twice last winter because of them. I'm happy to report that my new tires don't have a problem at all in light snow. I already had a pair of them up front and now I have the full matching set. (they are Goodyear Eagle F1 all seasons by the way) I got them from Bramalea Tire in Brampton, these guys are top notch! They've got probably the best prices on Goodyear tires anywhere in the Toronto area.

I realize it's been quite a while since my last post! I still love my job at Edge a lot, it was a very busy fall season but yet it didn't seem stressful at all because everything is so well organized there and the people are fantastic to work with. Tonight I'm going to the company Christmas party and I can't wait! It's at Glen Abbey Golf Course so I'm sure the food is going to be great (crossing my fingers that it's prime rib!) :) I've got one more week there and then I'll be on temporary layoff for a few weeks (and I'm going to miss everyone a lot), but things should get very busy again sometime in late January/early February with all the graduation pictures. I don't mind being laid off for a few weeks, thankfully I can still collect EI and I won't have to drive in any of the snowstorms that happen during that time (hopefully all of the snow falls then and then there are no snow storms once I return to work!)
