Drove from Chatt Tn to Knoxville today. Unbelievable amount of vehicles on the road with Ontario tags. At one point, counted 12 in a row. Does all the people leave Ontario for Christmas and head south??

Suprised you didnt see manitoba plates. I know many people from my small town that go south. Not snow birds,chickens afraid of the cold.
Two years ago it was -50 on new years eve.

Is that -50 C as in -58 F.:rolleyes: Last year I thought it was cold when it got to -37F twice here and the river froze from the bottom up.:eek: At -58 F the river, fish, and river insects would probably just freeze solid all at once.:eek::eek::eek:

Yes,Larry. -50c.
I dont remember a winter this warm.
I dont know how long the snowbird thing is going to go on. Many people my age take a winter vacation, not interested in a winter home.
I prefer cruise vacations.
