Re: North Eastern "Blizzard"

Isn't it funny that when we go down to Portland there is always someone (usually a spectator, or non-FIRST person) who assumes that because we are from Canada that we've had a cold winter? Right now the daffodils and crocuses are blooming and the tulips are well on their way.

Perhaps it is because we say things like, "No, not at all... it got up to FIFTEEN degrees the other day."

A considerably different statement in celsius than farenheit. Or perhaps it is because the GTR has conveniently arranged for snow to fall on competition weekend the past two years.

Of course some of them are just joking... like the guy last year (again, not a graciously professional FIRSTer) who wanted to know "If we had cellphones in Canada yet?" (Credit to the student on our team who answered "Yeah, but they're ROTARY DIAL.")

In any case, hope the snow clears soon.... I'm sure Murphy is going to find some way to impose his laws on us out here on the wet coast, too.
