(Northumberland Strait rather than open Atlantic Ocean) So for one or two days a year it makes NS a tourist destination? Petty much like northern coastal Scotland, rocky, damp and cool. -- First rule of holes: If you're in one, don't keep digging.

And being dry, the cold doesn't seem to penetrate as much. -- First rule of holes: If you're in one, don't keep digging. So in the hole, why do we insanely want more debt?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - You do realize that Nova Scotia has the warmest average temperatures of any province in Canada? That's not saying much. You do realize that it's just because the water moderates the temps in the winter don't you? Many many places in Canada have higher summer temps. Warmest winter places in Canada are British Columbia: Victoria, Vancouver and Abbotsford, NS isn't even close. In the winter, not one NS city is in the top 10 Canadian cities. Regina holds the big city temp record for summer, 43.3C July 5, 1937. Midale and Yellow Grass, SK holds the 1937 record at 45C. If you want summer heat, Saskatchewan is the place to go followed by parts of Manitoba. South eastern Ontario is warmer than NS. Windsor for example, over 20 days a year over 30C average. The interior of Newfoundland is generally warmer in summer than Nova Scotia. Don't make NS sound like a beach resort summer vacation spot. It isn't. -- First rule of holes: If you're in one, don't keep digging. So in the hole, why do we insanely want more debt?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Duh! They average out the entire provinces temperatures.... we have nothing drastic... the whole province is temperate. Anyway...who wants hot summers?? I'd be happy with sun and temps in the mid to high 70's Panama for me. 75-90F all year. Beaches, bikinis and beer all year around. All considered, probably cheaper than NS from Alberta. -- First rule of holes: If you're in one, don't keep digging. So in the hole, why do we insanely want more debt? |

If you are partial to islands... you can't do any better than this! http://www.cbisland.com/ Yes you can. Someplace warm comes to mind. === Yes, and someplace easier to get to. I'm going to start a new thread on favorite islands. Please don't trash it - islands really don't care about religion, politics or personalities. "Easier to get to"?? Every year almost a quarter million 'mericans find their way up here on cruise ships. There are direct flights into Halifax from New York daily. What could be easier than that? We really wanted to take that fast cat up there from New Hampshire when we were doing our New England trip. The weather was just too nasty for it. Maybe another time.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - You mean.. Bar Harbour, Maine to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia?? Too late... the ferry service wanted a big multi-million dollar subsidy but the gov't said enough is enough. So no one would pay to go there? That's crazy! -HB |
