So, y'all are having a cold snap! Congratulations!

Question for you - have you noticed that all your CFL bulbs (especially outdoor ones) take forever to light up?

Welcome to winter in Canada! Switch on the light, wait forever to see anything...

I have never had a problem with my CFL bulbs and our entire house is full of them. They aren't full brightness right to begin with but it doesn't take long.

And yes, we were having a cold snap. Yesterday when I left for work at 9:30 it was 12 degrees F. But it may be ending. Today when I left for work at 6:30 it was 30 degrees F.
