If this is the correct Barrie I think you are speaking of, I visited your fine town years ago for the Warped Tour haha. So Random, we just wanted to take a road trip so we went to Toronto first and then kept going. We went to a thrift store (cause I was a wicked cool hipster back then) and I got a shirt that said Barrie Taxi haha. End of random story.
I want that snow! I feel like I am teh only one excited for it in this state. Even the cold temps I find super interesting. It was -17 at the coldest I think, that was with the wind chill, but it was just neat to go outside and experience such crazy conditions. Being a WWII scholar I just think to myself, this is what it was like to fight on the Eastern Front ha.
