Default Nor' Eastr on way


Wow - I feel for ya, fellow Canadian!

Unfortunately, it's +10 and partly cloudy here. It's been raining quite a
bit, but the forecast for this weekend is more "partly cloudy" - looks
like I MAY get Far Cove and her new engine out on Sunday (YAY!)

My Lady planted bulbs last weekend - she's afraid she was too late, since
they were already sprouting. No sign of crocuses yet, but they should be
out any day now...

Man, am I sore & tired! We've broken a 24 hour record by receiving over 70

I've been shoveling snow all afternoon and didn't even try to clear the
driveway. (snowplow keeps coming around)
I curse myself for not digging out my snowshoes. It's tiring walking through
snow up around your waist.
I was getting concerned about the weight of snow on my new additions roof,
so I had to use the 'roof rake' to
pull most of it down, helping to avoid ice dams if the temperature gets
above freezing.
Did I tell the newsgroup that I've been invited to the British Virgin
Islands to sail on a 'Dynamic 62'?
Seems an old friend is looking after a couple while they're up for sale.
Wonder if the wife would mind looking after the shoveling if I can get away?

Expect up to 25 cm of snow tonight and another 25 tomorrow with winds up

to
100 km.
Potential for a 'weather bomb'. Spring sure seems far away!
