Moncton’s first blast of winter for 2006/07 came yesterday.
The forecast was confusing and ever-changing. Depending on whether you believed the radio stations or the weather channel AND depending on what time you listened, we were supposed to get anywhere from 5 cm (2 inches) to 25 cm (10 inches) of snow, with varying amounts of rain and freezing rain at different times throughout the weather event. We ended up getting all snow, at least in my neighbourhood. I estimate around 15 cm.
Here’s a view of the maple tree in my back yard, first thing this morning. It’s a pretty sight, but I am not a winter person. I don’t really enjoy the shoveling, or the cold, or the shoveling, or the short days, or the shoveling, or the slippery roads, or the shoveling. But most of all, I don’t like the shoveling.
Welcome to my Web Blah... er, Blog.

Environment canada cancelled the heavy snowfall warning and said we’d get rain instead. The weather network said we’d get between 20 and 25 cm. We officially got 25 cm in Moncton. As soon as the snow started to accumulate, the geniuses at environment canada re-issued the warning. They’ll blame the misinformation on cutbacks….they just simply dropped the ball.

I heard the storm was canceled due to the weather.

shovelling the driveway was a real pain that night when it was starting to freeze, but still a slushy, HEAVY mess. my hands still hurt…
and i could predict the weather better than the assclowns on the radio and the weather network.

What are you guys complaining about. I think it is just beautiful. It will be very nice for Christmas. And Steve, you only shovel the deck…the rest you use the snow blower. How easy could you have it…
