To my southern US readers...

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...

Yes, I have observed this...and had my husband change them out for regular light bulbs in the fixtures outside my front and back doors. If I hear scary noises on my back deck, I want to be able to see instantly the face of the scary, scary man trying to break in. I don't have to want to wait for my lightbulb to heat up while he smashes his axe through my door.

I'm being a little facetious (sp?) but you get my point.
