Canadian Humor

I came across this picture. It's the retort of a Canadian to the Canadian men's hockey team losing to the US. As someone who is now paying for health insurance rather than having a company pick up the bill, I put this in the ironic humor class.


OOOPs! We lost to Canada so that can't be right. I don't know what this was all about. Maybe it was women's hockey. Who knows? I still like the sign.

My daughter just told me that we beat Canada the first time we played them and that there ain't no stinkin' women's hockey. So maybe I was right the first time.

Snow

It snowed in Chapel Hill this weekend. It started around 7 PM on Friday night and snowed off and on for the entire night. When we got up the next morning we had around 6 inches of snow. Precipitation was still coming down, though as the morning went on, it turned into mostly sleet. That was a bit disappointing given that it was only 26° F outside. The weatherman said that a warm mass of air had inserted itself between the upper moisture containing layer and the colder air on the ground. This had the effect of turning our nice snow into hard sleet as it passed through the warm layer on its way down. As the sleet fell it actually pounded down the snow to some degree. Anyhow, the sleet mixed in with some snow continued to fall all day until around midnight. Everything was canceled through Monday. Here's some pictures.

It got down to 16° F last night, it's 27° F right now and it's supposed to hit 44° F today, so the snow will be around for a few more days.
