Apparently there are formulations that are acceptable in Canada. Perhaps they simply shipped from the wrong warehouse or pallet?

Getting back to the important subject: 50 cm. of snow today, nice and dry for once, so it is being redistributed by the 70 km/h wind gusts. But, no ice/freezing rain, so we should have power.
plus a storm surge on the Northumberland Strait, since the winds are from the north.
Proper winter! No point fussing about actually going anywhere.

So far today, the plow has gone by and two other vehicles passed early this morning. Not a single vehicle in the last two hours. Still snowing heavily and blowing wildly. A little while ago, there was a nine vehicle crash on the Confederation Bridge - in the toll area. Dog has successfully done her business in record time. Will go out to play as soon as the Vinyl Cafe is over.

It was our turn for freezing rain today: it started in the morning and when we came out of church at lunchtime the car was encased in a veneer of ice. It's eased off now, but it's blowing a gale, and I can feel the house shaking, even though we're in the middle of a terrace.
No power cuts so far, although there was an ominous flicker during the first lesson at Evensong ... ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Some of us would view Tim's coffee as a penance prescribed by one's confessor after hearing of a particularly loathsome sin. In any case I reaped a free cappuccino on Friday as the barista was very impressed with my plum ascot speckled with little white rabbits.

Only had one Tim's this week, and I'm 0 for 1.
But we have a very nice new coffee shop a block away from me, so I don't feel the need to chew up cardboard rims unless I'm on an errand in town.
At least the Tim's I go to is a very friendly place unlike certain others

It was a remarkable set of games. International hockey played with a precision and skill level we may never see again.
I said to the family today that this might be the best Canadian mens team ever. Yes, better then the 87 Canada Cup team.
I hope they get to play again in 4 years but the NHL is rumbling and the IOC doesn't have Russian oil money to use to bribe them the next time.
As for the women's final, I turned it off after the 2nd US goal....and turned it back on when somebody else in the office said they had gotten 1 back.
If there is one team we REALLY care for, its the Women's NT.

As a CFA* I know the square-root of diddly-squat about hockey, but I was looking in while getting ready for church, and saw Mr. Crosby's goal. The final whistle blew just before we went to process in.
There were some interesting pieces of improvisation on the organ during the service ...

Maybe because it gives a role to all the people rather than to a nice lady who happens to believe in God.
Also GStQ is just a rather morose German drinking tune, suitable for something like a funeral. Not that OC is particularly inspiring, of course, but who could take something totally triumphal at 20-below-with-a-wind-chill?

On the day of the women's game, I was in Montréal down by la Visitation (in a neighbourhood not yet gentrified, which in recent years elected a Trotskyite city councillor) and found myself hearing O Canada sung through the windows of a bar and shouts of les filles frappent! (tr: the girls hit!) and voyons les dames! (rough tr: look at the ladies!).
If you had told me ten years ago that O Canada would be sung in that neighbourhood, I would have assumed that you were on very bad drugs.
Someone told me that the men played a game as well, but I haven't had that verified.

As to GStQ and OC, don't get me wrong: on the day when the British athletes won six gold medals at the London Olympics, I had tears streaming down my face, and I'm getting a throat-lump just typing this. ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif)
I think OC took me by surprise: I switched on the TV the other day and happened on a medal ceremony (I hadn't seen the event, and can't even remember what it was) and found myself reaching for the paper-hankies.

I finally broke my duck yesterday by gagnezing un beignet.
I gave the rim to D., as he's been gagnezing at the rate of about un café per day and giving the rims to me to get my Timmy's at w*rk each morning, and he likes beignets more than I do.

It's the French translation they use on the Roll up the Rim - you can exchange your rim for a doughnut or (I think) a muffin. Are you feeling homesick yet, Pete?

Firenze, you can wear whatever you want to the wedding, just be sure to have your parka and boots on to get there. A weather alert has been issued for 30 to 50 cm of snow and high winds on Wednesday. As the snow is still waist deep on my front lawn, I'm thinking "warm" is not such a good idea anyway. I prefer a nice slow thaw.

You worry too much. We were at a winter wedding in Québec City a couple of years ago, and the photos afterwards made it look as though the bride and her entourage had suddenly put on weight. They were all wearing long thermal underwear under the traditional pretty stuff, so that's what you may need to do. I was comfortable and warm in my kilt. We expect most of the snow to have melted by May.

We've been getting the tail end of it since early this evening - fierce winds and blowing snow (although not really very much lying) and now it's raining and still blowing a fair bit.
Not enough for a sn*w day tomorrow though.
Hope those of you in the thick of it are keeping safe - the Weather Channel pictures of Halifax and Charlottetown looked pretty wild earlier today.

Enough wind that the snow blew away from the cars, leaving only the pile at the end of the drive, basically pushed in by the plow. Did lose a few shingles.
Nowhere hear what PEI got.
Full whiteout though - TransCanada closed from Sackville to Truro for about 24 hours
Daughter 2 called from TO, in a panic that we would be alright. Hey, nice and cosy in the house, power merely flickered a couple of times, didn't have to go anywhere, and the snow was easy to clear the next morning. Doesn't get much better
But now they're calling for rain - 15 mm or so, just enough to freeze a shell on the surface, which is disaster for the deer.
And, just to keep you aware that it could be worse, Winnipeg has had it so cold for so long that pipes 7 feet underground are freezing. So glad I'm not there any longer.

All well here. It sure was windy and the weatherman, who has been at it for 28 years, said it was the worst storm/wind he has seen.
Everything was pretty much shut down yesterday and today - over 50 cm of new snow and drifts 2-3 metres in front of my house. I'm on a main road so there was a track plowed for the fire trucks but the winds kept up all day so they have had a hard time of it. Gusts to over 100 km/hr do not make for an easy clean up.
The sun shone brightly though and my dog thinks that I put the snow out there just for her!

I take the minutes for the Anglican Cemetery Committee of St. John's and at our last meeting somebody mentioned that the ground in Manitoba froze to a depth of 7 feet. It came up in the context of a discussion about the ground here, which usually doesn't freeze more than about a foot, had frozen 3½ feet this year, making it far harder to dig the graves (and more expensive, as the machines used more fuel).

Much the same here, Horseman Bree. Everything is shut down. I daresay I will not be changing my tires this afternoon as originally planned. Still have power though and the wee dog had a blast jumping through the snowbanks - she thinks I put them there just for her while she was asleep.

Similar here - we had the five days off for March Break, school was on for Monday and Tuesday and now they have been off for five school days in a row with a PD day this Friday. Some high school students are being emailed assignments and some teachers are giving daily homework via blogs. Hopefully the snow will stop falling later today!

It's not been quite that bad here, although we had a snow-day today. It was really only a half-day: the university was closed in the morning but opened again at 1 o'clock. As I would have finished work at 2, I phoned my boss (who was working from home as her kids were off school) and she said not to bother coming in just for an hour.
When we opened the front door there was about a foot of snow on the step, but now it seems to be easing off (or turning to rain and freezing rain).
Take care, those of you who are having it a lot worse than us.

We're finally beginning to see gardens and grass under the snow, so that's good. I would normally have had species tulips in bloom over a week ago in one bed -- snow is finally gone but not a hint of anything growing as yet.
But about what really matters -- after scoring 2 -- yes 2! -- free coffees in the whole of March -- a new low in my experience -- on 1 April I landed a third, as they were clearing out the last of the RUTRTW cups. Now I can go back to ceramic mugs and save the environment.

I went to work in shoes, rather than boots today, for the first time this year. One of my co-workers bicycled to work, for the second time this year.
