Hurricane force gusts and power outages on the way, I suppose.

(At least it's cold enough that the snow isn't sticky.)

There's no such thing, except perhaps for people who don't absolutely need to venture out.

It's blowing in so many different directions right now that none of it seems to be landing anywhere.

We had a very big snowstorm a few weeks before xmas. It all melted as it wasn't that cold. We had a non white xmas and most of January was nice, if cold.

In the last week we had two big storms dumping a ton of snow. The bank at the back of the drive has never been bigger and another 30cm was expected tomorrow. Barely into February.

Unfortunately I just checked the latest forecast. It's another blizzard and 40-50cm expected instead of 30.

Some days I wake up and I just can't cope - I do now seem to be diagnosed with 'classic SAD syndrome' but that doesn't help - giving me medication won't work, as I won't take it and I just need life to be more sunny!

New Brunswick is a bit Pitsville at present.....Fredericton is horrid - but I think Bristol is far worse...? Deep deep Pitsville?

Insist on going somewhere nice a warm for spring break, think of it as a medical expense. It'll give you something to look forward to, plus, after you come back it'll be warmer where you are. Go down to Boca or somewhere equally south of Palm Beach. It can't that expensive to fly down for couple of weeks and stay at medium range hotel near the beach?

Sorry to hear you're suffering Millie. I know it's not really much consolation, but the fog and damp and rain on the Island have been awful for AGES. No sun for you in this direction. Take Oink's boat down to the Keys.

The problem is that sunny days at this time of the year tend to be -30 with the windchill.

It was all so good mid January. I thought we were going to have a repeat of about three winters ago. Now it looks like we're on the way to breaking records...at least in my time here.

I'd rather not have it, but I think it makes a difference with the family being Canadian. It's all they've really known so it just makes it a bit easier for me.

That and not having to get up and out for things like work and stuff.
