While the temperature slightly raised in Toronto and caused raining and the disappearance of shallow snow layers, it is a truely white Christmas in Montreal. Sleets turn into piles of snows on the sides of highway. Luckily, it's not as cold as I imagined.Qing Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11948669735062531405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19345384.post-1134865462757112262005-12-17T19:18:00.000-05:002005-12-17T19:24:22.763-05:00It's like Toronto is not cold enough for me. I will be spending my Christmas week in Montreal. To do what? Catch the tail of the breaking-record-snowfall maybe.Qing Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11948669735062531405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19345384.post-1134620799020159062005-12-14T23:26:00.000-05:002005-12-14T23:32:00.440-05:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/452/1913/1024/2003_12_22%20019%20Christmas%20Tree.jpg"><img style="display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/452/1913/400/2003_12_22%20019%20Christmas%20Tree.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://picasa.google.com/" target="ext"><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" alt="Posted by Picasa" style="border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="middle" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Do you notice those beautifully decorated Christmas trees everywhere?

I like to look out of windows and watch the flurries quickly cover up the land and prepare everything for another once-in-a-year hibernation. However, walking on slipery icy ground with a high heel is entirely another experience.<br /><br />I am grateful that at least I am sheltered, though it's really quite cold in my little apartment.Qing Lynnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11948669735062531405noreply@blogger.com0
