Snow is really starting to ramp up in intensity now. Supposed to peak
this evening then slowly ease up, ending at about 9 tomorrow morning.
One *good* thing is that it is only in the mid 20's, so the snow will be
more of the light, fluffy type rather than the heavy wet stuff. Tonight
the temp is forcast to drop to about 5 degrees (F for our Canadian friend).

I think Don figured that out
5c is summertime up there in the frozen north isn't it?

We found Nova Scotia to be fairly temperate when we cruised through
there last August. The northern Gulf of St Lawrence however, not so
much. At that point we were farther north than southern Newfoundland,
and only a day or two from Labrador.

Our kids are getting a real "Northern Michigan" winter this year. Last
year the natives said it was quite mild. They were also living in
downtown Traverse City so getting to the store was not an issue. Now
they are 10 miles outside of Elk Rapids and that is just a wide spot
in the road. They do have a Meijers tho (Super Walmart/Target sort of
thing)
