Terrible.

-22‹C ~ -8‹F , but with 100kph/60mph winds, the wind chill factor is -46‹C ~ -51‹F . :bleh:

I had to shovel snow for over an hour this moning to get out. Got stuck in a small street, because there was snow a few inches above my front bumper. :beaten:

3 major highways are closed in both directions due to pile up. One even got broken glass on it from an high-rise building that got blown away. At least 1 bridge is closed and a few trailers are on their side, due to strong winds.

To top that last night it was raining and then it turn to snow. It slippery has hell and you can't see 10 feet in front of you. :bleh:

Rush hour will be fun tonight... :hehe:

That's what I'm going to do. The sad part is, I'm at work... :(

I'll just work very late, until it's less crazy out there. Better be stuck in here working and warm, than outside in the cold in the middle of a pile up. :sweat:

Still can't find the right point where I hit the ball on my serves.....also working on the toss height.

As for forehand and backhand....I think my swings are a tad bit late.
Still needa get a new racket. The one I'm using isn't long enough :shakehead:

Las Palmas, i use to play there sometimes, you have to pay for the court, rented out per hour, i know that sounds strange cause most courts are free...
i use to have lessons there, in S'vale.

i am not with it, in regards to the latest rackets.
maybe a ball machine will help in the consistancy of your ground strokes and volleys for both backhand and forehand, if not, get a partner to hit with and practice.

Yes I am. :shamefulcry:

-32 is almost normal for January, unless your friend is in Vancouver. Schools shut down when it's -35 or lower. On average, I think they are closed 5 to 10 days during winter. If your friend is near the Great Lakes (The palm tree) or near a big river, -32 is f**king cold. If he/she is up north, where it's dry, it's not that bad.

You just need a lot of layers. Something I never do... :sweat: I froze my ears this morning while shoveling and having the snow being blown back to my face. :beaten:

LOL, very bad weather in Canada, all there ganbatte.

Haha, the ace sparked my interest to tennis too. I'm just waiting for weather to get better and will go to check the conditions for renting a cort, also need to find decent rackets (I've wooden ones, real antics) and to presuade my bro to come and play with me...

Hi everyone,
Yes, weather in Montréal sucked big time today. It's like a skating rink out there. The bus shelter in front of my office was blown away by the wind! And yes, I bet a lot of people booked plane tix to fly down South today. Lots of people lined up at my workplace (Passport Canada) too.

that's way too hot!!!!

can't run in weather beyond 85, that's brutal...
head indoors and avoid sunlight if you can, to avoid skin cancer, esp during summertime heat.
