I meant in counting the letters from B to S or should that be BS New Brunswick is very different to Nova Scotia. Infact all the Atlantic Provinces have a distinctive personality of their own.

Sorry, too late. I've sent out the word to the NB and NS Legislators who will be calling in the RCMP to investigate an insurrectionist and family. Meanwhile in Toronto we're probably going to call in the army to help us clear the 4cm of snow on the ground this morning.

Hmmm yes coffepot you believe Dave - and so do I! but do the Nova Brunswickians! - I sense a JCB backing in here to dig the hole the little deeper!

No Dave Im only joking! this is Canada were talking about after all! (I must stop keep putting on those rose tinted specs!) - funny that they only work intermittently when I try to put them on in the UK.

We have a cold weekend ahead (well by UK standards). Today is -4c with a windchill taking it down to -12c ...brrrr

4cm of snow in Toronto and they need the Army to help... Puh..lease, we go outside and lick that sort of snow off road with our tongues I maybe doing that this year as Homedepot have failed to deliver my snow blower!

The forecast is for a snowy December in the maritimes with below average temperatures. Then Jan and Feb to have above normal temperatures and higher levels of precipition (no mention of snow or rain though and I am guessing it will still be snow). So White Christmas here we come

Start by reading the Wiki - find a link at the top of the page.
Read it through, and then read it through again. There is so much excellent info from BE members who have been there done that etc.

Once you are familiar with the terms then use the search function to read through past threads - again, some invaluable info, experience and opinion.

Good luck, and welcome to BE.

Rob
