Rough Arizona Winter Weather

Mark:

[snip]> How very thoughtful of you Peter.

Ever hear of Karma?

Thanks...

I believe that you should make your own Karma.

Born in the Canada and now living in the South, I firmly believe that if
Europeans
had discovered the northern parts of North America during the winter they
would have left it to the native Americans and not stayed too long...

I see by the history books that indeed they arrived during the summer and
were
fooled into staying...

Me...?

I can't take the northern winter weather any more, never venture North of
the FL/GA State line after September.

Storm's done - 95 cm in total in under 24 hours - a new record by far. The
last 24 hour record was 55 cm. We have another 20 cm coming tonight. The
province is in a state of emergency for the first time in decades (since
1944??) from a snow storm. There are snow banks and drifts over 15 feet high
in places. A few pictures I have seen had complete streets banked in with 12
foot drifts! Last night was the first time in history that Nova Scotia had a
curfew - anyone caught out after 11 PM till 7:00 AM this morning would be
fined $1000, whether they were walking, driving, etc.

Here in eastern Canada, in Nova Scotia, we're having a blizzard right now
with over 50 cm of snow fall in the last 12 hours....

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Hey... nice to e-meet you here on USNET. It happens that I was born in
Halifax, NS... left many years ago, been living in the American South for
lo
these past xxxx years.

Good to meet you here too - there are a few of us NS'ers around in the
electronic news groups. I too was born here in Halifax.

Today here in Indialantic By-the-Sea, FL on our barrier island, just a few
hundred feet from the Atlantic Ocean beach, we have wall-to-wall blue sky
a
few fluffy white clouds, and temperature around 70F. I'm sitting out by
the
pool under the lanai looking at the palm trees in the back yard while I
type
this posting. Just so that I don't feel too privilidged, I am
sporadically
working on a report for one of my consulting clients...

It's OK, at least I can go snowmobiling! This was nearly impossible a few
years back due to lack of snow. I must say, it is nice to be able to work
outside around water - I sometimes work on my laptop by a lake at a friends
cottage.

Two weeks ago my cousin and his wife from Shelbourne, NS passed through
our
area in their 50 foot schooner on the way to Cuba for the summer. I spent
the evening on board with them while they were swinging at anchor off
Dragon
Point in the Bannana River drinking rum and reminiscing about the old days
in dear old Nova Scotia. They departed Key West on Wednesday...

Be careful and don't shovel too much snow *before* the snowploughs pass
your
place, eh?

They are actually being quite generous this time around and lifting the side
blade some, as to keep most of the snow out of peoples driveways.

Wow... that's a really bad one! I recall the rough winter weather in
Halifax but nothing like that.
I hope there is no loss of life or other human tragedy as a result of that
storm.

My wife was in our Halifax harbourfront condo last summer when "Juan" came
through, she had
left me down here in FL for the summer to "guard" our home against
hurricanes! So NS has
been getting its' share of severe weather recently.

Here today in Indialantic By-the-Sea... 75F, wall to wall blue sky, ocean
breeze swaying the palms in the back yard... well you know the same booring
story...

Take care...

It's only 70°F here. Accuweather claims it's raining, but all I see
are some clouds going by. So much for "Accu" ;-)
