According to Environment Canada, Montreal has on average 79.54 days of freezing weather per year. By the end of January, on average, Montrealers will face 47.6 days of sub-0 weather. That tells me, by the time February rolls around, winter is 59.8% over. (By sub-0, I mean the daily high is below 0)
Aren't you glad you have me around?
Also, to settle a wager with Vinny: Vinny claimed that Feb is both the coldest and snowiest month of the year. I claimed that January was the coldest and agreed that Feb was the snowiest. It turns out January is the coldest, but December is the snowiest! So I'm only half-right. But still right enough to gloat. Nyah.
Meanwhile, Vancouver gets 4.29 freezing days a year. Assholes. Their winter, if you can even call it that, is 91% over.
A desktop .ICO file can contain an icon image at a variety of sizes. Most of the info out there on the net about .ICO files is pretty old. I was looking around to answer the question of "Which formats should I include in my ICO file?." In-depth details about ICO files for Windows XP can be found in this MSDN article. Vista will also add support for 256x256 and 128x128 size images.
The .ICO file I just created contains these images:
256 x 256 at 32-bit (this is forward looking for Vista, 32-bit = 24 + alpha)
48 x 48 at 32-bit
32 x 32 at 32-bit
16 x 16 at 32-bit
48 x 48 at 8-bit
32 x 32 at 8-bit
16 x 16 at 8-bit
Some software that might help you in creating the perfect ICO file:
