Trailer Park Boys

Wonder how the Trailer Park Boys made out - they're from Halifax, aren't they? Probably smokin' an drinkin' like they always do...

I've driven that road, albeit in the summer. The reason the road drifts in is mainly because there are many rock cuts. As it was told to me, the environmentalists decreed that the max width of a rock cut cannot exceed 100 feet. Since many of them are ninety degrees to the prevaling storm wind, they just fill full of snow when a storm strikes. Of course, they are environmentally friendly.

Well, she's snowin' again. Another 6-12" on the way, today and tomorrow. Never would have believed we got the snow they said, until I went for a drive in town yesterday. Harder getting around even than after Juan passed through.

Greek islands, no, done those! We were enjoying the delights of sunny Tehran when we were trying to get to Odessa and our plan B destination was Bucarest.

I personally think that the Ace and crew at DEI would have kept going until the Metar mentioned BM... (blowing moose)..

Other than that, thank god I live on the proper side of the country.. today it was CAVU and about 16C......

But really, I hope all is well in the maritimes and that you all come out of it OK....

just came from the far east where it was 25 degrees to find my driveway covered in snow. Thanks, but I've about had enough of winter!
