Currently minus 9 degrees with NorthWest winds at 14 mph. Windchill
makes it feel like minus 29 degrees. Cold, even by northeast standards. |

Bottomed out at minus 10.4 degrees this morning at 5:30 am according to my digital outdoor thermometer. Matched up closely to readings from the National Weather Service. When it warmed back up to minus 8, I took a drive down to the local coffee/donut shop. Tires on truck had hard flat spots from sitting overnight in the cold, causing it to bump, bump, bump, down the road. Supposed to climb all the way up to about 14 degrees today. At least that's *above* zero. |

Oh boy...now I feel really cold.
Local CBC says it's minus 12C but feels like minus 23C due to wind. I'd better buy a new outdoor thermometer...or place the current one further from the house. |

No sun on my thermometer. It's on the north side next to our back door and blocked from the west by the addition we put on for Mom in 2002.

But, like I said in the follow-on email, $450, one way, is more than I'd want to spend.

But, almost $6000 for the two of us for only five days seems a bit excessive. I'm thinking it would be much cheaper and about as much fun to RV it up there. It's only about 1150 miles - two days travel time, staying off the toll roads. Wonder if there's a ferry from St. John's to Halifax. Could be fun. http://tinyurl.com/juhmeno - show quoted text - ...... Moto Guzzi is your summertime friend, John "For me, sure. But I could never convince Sandy to ride on the back for 2300 miles!" To bad you can't haul your bike on back of the rv. The Cabot Trail is claimed to be one of the premier motorcycle destinations in North America If I had a $250000 motorhome, I could put a lift and platform to haul the bike on the back of it. The trailer frame isn't strong enough to hang 550lbs off the ass end. A friend and I took our motorcycles from here up to Acadia National Park, with all the stops in-between. Took about two weeks. Great trip, except for having to completely unpack everything and lay it all out for Canadian customs when we went to visit Montreal. The fifth wheel we had was a Keystone Raptor "toy hauler". Had a 12' garage in the back with a twin loft bed above it. Came with tracks built in the floor and walls for strapping one or two full sized motorcycles, a golf cart or other personal transportation vehicle.
