Snow, snow, snow. It seems that Canada is drowning in snow and ice this winter… perhaps a bit more than usual but this is Canada and frankly, Christmas (and winter) just isn’t the same without snow. <\/p>\n

I say this not as a person trying to justify being in Canada with the white stuff; I’m saying this as a person who spends most of their week in a place that rarely experiences snow. In California, it’s brown and warm and spring-like all the time. It’s disorientating because I didn’t grow up with the subtle seasonable signals that Californians know. The weather in California is one big season for me.<\/p>\n

There are also so many wonderful things that can be done in the snow that Canadian kids take for granted. Below is a couple of them: tobogganing and dog sledding<\/a>. Kima and Stryder make excellent sled dogs and it makes for an afternoon of laughter and fun.<\/p>\n
