Today is March 1st and Gemma can now drink legally and stay in Dooley's pool bar after 7:30pm. She is blossoming into a fine young woman, and this old Dad is proud of both his daughters for their intelligence, maturity and well balanced view on the world.

The temperature today is sitting at -10c at midday and the windchill is supposed to be something like -22c but I am not going outside to find out. The forecast is for 25-35cm tonight and tomorrow. I am thinking of applying for Inuit (Eskimo) citizenship status because we now have 26 words for snow. Lets see if the old saying is true "March in like a Lion out like a Lamb", Last year we dodged a storm at the end of March and poor old Newfoundland got the lot!.
