What is the temperature in Toronto? Oddly, if I want the answer in fahrenheit, I have to check msnbc. Canadian websites are in celsius, a language so lacking in the weather-beaten poetry of my youth.
32ºF

funny, i have to log into the Canadian sites to find the temperature in Centigrade, as I prefer it, much to the dismay of my auto mechanics ...
either way, it's too cold for October. there and here.
Brrr is right.
Oh, good one.
I've brought out my red scarf but I refuse to bring out my black overcoat in October.
Saturday's low here is supposed to be 35. I don't know why this seems so terribly cold to me--our "frost date" is October 15, after all. October 17th shouldn't be shocking.
I wore my red itchy hat to the girl scout cookout, though. It was a smart choice.
32F ... surely you don't have to look that up on MSNBC? Whether in F or C,though, that really deserves a brr.
Yesterday, we left 25C (77F) Brisbane, and returned to 10C (50F) Wellington. Today fortunately, Wellington is at least pretending it isn't still mid-winter at 15C (59F).
Alfie the Halloween cat.
