Chill Out!

Jul 08 2010

One major difference between the seasons in Moncton and the seasons in Sin Jahn’s are exactly that… the seasons.  Moncton has some clear definition between all four seasons: cold, snowy winters; wet, growth-filled springs; hot-as-love summers; and chilly, windy autumns. 

St. John’s has two seasons… cold rain, drizzle and fog and VERY cold rain drizzle and fog. 

Don’t get me wrong, I love the town.  However, Wikipedia confirms the dreariness of the climate realities in my fair hometown.

In my post earlier this week, I “complained” about the heat and Phil from Mud Songs suggested that moving to St. John’s would help.  Wonderful idea, but I decided to install air conditioners instead.  So, with some help from my darling wife, we managed to get the A/Cs installed in the bedrooms and the whole family has been sleeping comfortably ever since!

We are such a spoiled species.
