Hi SW Ontario Members:

Do we have a date & place for the Meet & Greet?

Cheers,

cdnwebgurl1 : :-):

Who's all getting the BIG snowstorm??

The wind's been picking up here, but only supposed to get 1-5cm. Hopefully that's all we'll get (hubby's got to drive up in the mountains tomorrow).

Take care everyone :wave:

Sorry to have to tell you it's another 17 degree day around here -- very windy and rainy though -- :shrug:

It snowed here last evening and through the night. I am going for a walk but I'll have to root out my parka.

Still pretty mild around here -- about 13 first thing this morning -- forecast is for sun this afternoon and dropping temps -- but still now snow for the next few days anyway. Hope they are right. :yes:

Okay Ladies, here's what I have:

Cdnwebgurl1 - Nov 1st (no location mentioned, but I think Hamilton)
JuliaHood - Nov 2nd only (Kitchener preferred, Hamilton ok)
Tomato - Either day (Kitchener preferred, Hamilton - no go)
ChocLabLover - Nov 1st preferred, Nov 2nd okay (either city)
Luvja - interested <--- too busy until the new year (updated)

Here's the thing. I'm out (yikes) this weekend. I have 3 tests next week, need to practice my AutoCad for a Monday morning assignment, and have a proposal that should be done this weekend as well. I'm beginning to realise that I can't commit myself during the school year with any hope of making it. So here's my suggestion:

Cdnwbgurl1, ChocLabLover - consider meeting Nov 1st for a mall walk (take pictures). It's closest, and local for you gals.

JuliaHood, Tomato - you're both in Kitchener and both free on Nov 2nd, so meet and have a cup of coffee (take pictures). I've met Tomato, she's a lovely woman to spend time with.

I thought of trying to convince you all to push it back so I could join you. However, I get groups assigned for a Communications project this week and will have to find time to meet with the groups (as well as start working on it). And I've got at least two more tests (one scheduled, one not) before finals in December. My life went from uncomplicated in the summer to, well, pretty nuts at the moment.

(Sending this as a PM to the five involved - discussions of actual meeting places/times should be done in PMs... oops except one of you doesn't allow PMs. Maybe turn that feature back on until the meet-up?)

Adding this: My best time would likely be just after the new year. The school semester will have just started (so no test/assignment commitments). I'd still suggest that those above try and meet and I will post something again towards the end of the year / beginning of the next one.

Weather update - we had about 2cm snow last night - winds 40-50km/hr & still quite gray & windy today. They say the snow will melt by Halloween, maybe ... but not today!

Have a good one :)

Sorry I have another commitment now....

""Sorry ChocLabLover, can't do it. Saturday is an Optimist fundraiser in Ancaster and Sunday is church and choir celebrations.""

Glad to hear that school is agreeing with you Ann and I wish you well in your studies, perhaps during Christmas and New Year's we can all take a collective sigh of relief somewhere warm and walk and talk?

IMO, it would be best if we met all together somewhere, the more the merrier for the season and all that.

How does everyone else feel?

Cheers,

That would be good for me. I wasn't sure how other people were during the holiday season. Besides, the malls are nuts around that time though. I was thinking Jan 3rd or 4th (ie. after the holiday rush) or the week after that. I'll leave it up to you gals.

Bad news guys. I had a family emergency last night (my aunt had to go into the hospital last night) so I won't be able to do the meet up this weekend. She is going to be fine, but I have a few things I need to take care of. Sorry about the late notice.

Happy Spooky Day . . . :witch:

:wave:

Cold and sunny around northeastern NS today . . . but still no snow for us. I know it will be coming for us soon, but I'm not in any rush at all.

Have a fun Saturday everybody . . . :carrot:

The snow has finally arrived . . . but it really isn't sticking around.

Hi,

New to this thread - thanks Meowee for directing me here.
It seems many of you are writing from Ontario or the East Coast; well I'm saying hi from Prince George BC. Originally from Victoria though, and missing the ocean up here in the north.
Hard to believe we're into November and we haven't had snow yet. It was about 12 degrees this past weekend! Very strange for this time of year, but I'm happy to stay out on the bike a little longer than usual.

Anyway, have a great week everyone!

:wave:
