At least you can see it flow down to the Ocean here we have to shovel or blow it...

Harry........You know what you get if you cross a Polar Bear with a..... can't say it here....but you get the best snowblower in town.....

Don't worry in 3 months it will all be gone and replaced with mud!!!!

Hi

So this is what we woke to. Double wide drive with a turnaround with my l'il 24" snow blower made for a long day.

Either 20-30cm snowstorms (5 in 2 weeks) or -35 windchill......3 months?! I won't last!! Luckily I'm off to Winnipeg in a week!

regards
Darrell

Pretty bad Darrell when a vacation to Winnipeg in February is better than staying at home in New Brunswick.
Glad I left town on Friday...Although here tonight in North Bay is -35c without the windchill.
Put another log on the fire and top up my glass with some winter warmer.

Hasn't snowed that bad there Darrel. Not only can you still clearly see the roof of the shed, but you can even see part of the car. Around these parts we call that fall.

Every day I look at the weather forecast and everyday it is below average. The above average winters are far and few between. I would like to know how they figure the average high here should be -5 these days, and in reality the best we will hope for is the -14 scheduled for later in the week. Even that is just the carrot they dangle so we stay here.

There seem to be a few on here who like to exaggerate their present temperatures to make them seem worse than they really are. So here, to shed light on the real truth of the matter, are links to some of the Canadians on this thread.

Well not to dispute you Rob, I took the temp off of my outside thermometer about an hour ago at -35c.
There was an interesting discussion on North Bay radio a couple weeks ago when residents were disputing advertised temperatures; Local radio was indicating -22 when in fact it was -30 as proven by various callers who reported in to the radio station. I was headed south towards Toronto and my truck was indicating -30c while the radio was insisting that is was -22c according to Environment Canada.

Well I guess that explains why the shop light never worked when I plugged it into that cord....here I thought it was three boxes of bad bulbs. Live and learn I guess..........

Are you saying the government of Canada would not report the weather correctly, just to fool people into continually inhabiting what could otherwise be barren wasteland, just to prevent the land from being claimed by the imperialistic Russians?
