Appreciate the picture. Here in the Rockies it's 81F (27C) today, however they're forecasting snow by the weekend. Can't wait to try out the new snowblower! I think a couple of ski areas are opening this weekend too... So Winter's comin', just not HERE yet /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

YUK!!!!

If winter was any longer, I'd never survive. We don't get hit like that until November usually.

Thanksgiving (weekend before last) it was 28 C here, 82/83 F and this week has been all 4 to -4 C (49 to 25 F) and we don't have any mountains to speak of!

I'm in Fredericton, about 1.75 hours west of Moncton. A coworker comutes 2 days /wk from Moncton. Fredericton is the capital of NB but Moncton is the "hub" of the Maritimes, everything passes through there so there is much more development.

I know that can't be true, because I have heard that it is only summer for 4 weeks total and spring and fall are 2 weeks each..... enjoy the snow and please keep it to yourself. I have too much to do here before the snow flies and if the past years are any indication, I will not finish this year any more than I have in previous years.....

That's a good one! Thanks. Looks like me skiing... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Hate to break it to you but Christmas is only 9 weeks away...

Slowzuki,

We're moving to Mars Hill, Maine in 3 weeks and they got the same snow today that you did. Can't wait to get out and play in that stuff...

Sat on a bench in Moncton and watched the tidal bore come up the river. Not a big one, only about 8" high. But still pretty amazing! I understand they are sometimes several feet in height.

 

[slowzuki]

JimFL will become JimMe I suppose. Maine eh? Practically next door neighbours! We probably won't get any serious snow until late Nov or early Dec, todays will be gone by tomorrow. I really need to weld the plow mounts on the new truck though!

Gary, I have never seen the tidal bore in the Petecodiac (sp?) but I have seen it in an equivalent river in Nova Scotia. The tide is incredible in the Bay of Fundy, up to 16 metres (50+ feet!)

fredricton eh, my wife has family near there, oramocto, actually. nice place. our tides are around 25-30 feet here in the annapolis basin, and we acutaly have the first tidal power genorating station in north america.

Slowzuki,

I have a Jeep Wrangler that I took to Tellico a couple of months back. I see you're a Samurai man. Maybe we can do some four wheeling sometime...

I think you have a good idea with JimME. I'll have to reserve it.

Stay warm!

Jim (currently in nice and warm Florida)

Tellico, there are some crazy rigs running that I hear! There are a number of groups and runs up here, my samurai has been parked a while now, I've been too busy to get it out.

I think I may end up using it to winch some logs on our new property, so there is an incentive to work on it!
