Ox Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 "Content not available right now" However - I did just see a post on Snowest from a fella that was still riding from home on the Que/Lab border. (Didn't look like good snow, so don't feel too bad...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slomo Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Best article on the snow fall I think - National Post: Rex Murphy: In Newfoundland, climate change (from bad to worse) is a given 'No two days the same' should be the provincial motto. 'Tomorrow will certainly be worse' should be the followup http://nationalpost.com/opinion/rex-murphy-in-newfoundland-climate-change-from-bad-to-worse-is-a-given "It is an enduring puzzle to me why the International Panel on Climate Change, instead of jetting off to Rio and Paris and Copenhagen — all of them centred in ridiculously stable climates — to hold their jumbo séances and fire dances to the climate gods, don’t just schedule one say, in Gander. (Not Torbay in St. John’s — let’s give them a chance.) The “case” for climate change would have its Q.E.D.s and eurekas! even before they landed. They’d be circling the airport and flying back and forth to Halifax for days before there was a break in the clouds, a halt in the wind and rain, or a space between blizzards to allow them to land." "Up here in balmy Toronto, the patio creatures who disappear every winter were back in full latte force, the birds were clearing their little throats and practicing their scales, and the delightful “weather specialists” of the local TV channels were rabbiting on about sun screens and UV rays. Back home, on the other hand, all was misery and consternation and despair. Up to 40 centimetres of snow (20 times a “military-grade” fall in Toronto, be it noted) powerfully propelled by 80-kilometre winds were lacerating the great towns of Central Newfoundland and the metropolis of Gander of Come From Away fame, in a blizzard frenzy unknown even to veterans of the great penguin march in Antarctica. It was too bad Morgan Freeman was for the moment tied up or the locals would have called on him for one of his glorious voice-overs." (FFS.... not Morgan too.....)

Poo Man Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Wife's aunt moved from Montreal to Newfoundland due to the much lower cost of living. She said something to me like wouldn't it be nice to be able to semi retire already, until I told her about the weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Slomo and Mike...great point. Picturing the hybrid...Murphy with Mercer's hair... previously noted humour. Uniquely Canadian, indeed.

XTC500 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 We are on Fogo Island last night & tonight. It's 3 degC, very high winds & rain/sleet. Spent the day in the car touring Fogo. Not much here to enjoy without being able to hike. The forecast improves tomorrow. We've been lucky in seeing Puffins, Iceburgs, & whales in Bonavista/Eliston.
