>We've had a strange two week here in Vancouver. Record heavy rainfalls have caused turbidity in the water, meaning we have to boil water before we drink it. No so bad, but boiling enough water to bathe a toddler is tedious. Next we have a gigantic snowfall, then the temperatures plummet to -20. At this point I'm waiting for the cyclone and the locus.

Locus - isn't that a set of points? <bg>

FWIW, we've had 60's here in Philly since last week, and we haven't yet had any really cold weather.
