It is snowing once again. It seems to me that it wasn’t all that long ago that we’d get a lot less snow — maybe one or two big snowstorms in a whole year. It’s only January, however, and our second big storm is currently raging outside. It’s only been going for about two hours so far, so who knows how bad it will be. We’re supposed to get somewhere in the neige-bourhood of 30 cm, which would make tomorrow a messy and generally unpleasant day. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

My weekend was fairly uneventful. On Saturday, I went out with Janet, Amanda, and Castro for some free pool (courtesy of Castro). I’ve totally lost my touch — a few years ago, I loved pool and played it as much as possible. I therefore gained a certain amount of skill. However, it’s all gone, and I can’t shoot for crap. It was fun anyway, though. The good times, however, didn’t last long, since I had to work last night, as usual
. To detract from the monotony a bit, I was working on the women’s side of the hospital. I’m very glad I wasn’t in the emergency room, since it was crazy busy. You know how I hate crazy busy-ness.
Anyway, I’ve got classes tomorrow (unless this storm really picks up), so I’ve got to get some sleep. Until next time…

I just came across the geekiest slogan for a fruit drink ever, and it’s in French.
"Sinus, cosinus, tangerine"
Mark@John-s
That’s so super! I want to buy that drink.

Dear god.

Would you rather have the daily dose of 50mm of rain that we are currently getting out here in on the wet coast? It goes real well with what little snow is now left from our two week freeze. =)
Apollo
I for one would take rain. Rain is pleasant.
je
Rain doesn’t shut the city down…I’ll take rain.
Chris
This is true, although most of the low-lying roads are flooded, massive potholes have emerged on major thrufares due to snow+salt+rain, and the foot of snow that we received about two weeks earlier did not melt before the rains.
Brings stress when you live in a community that is below sea level.
Amanda
My sister lives in Vancouver. She says it’s pretty miserable there. However she did say she’d rather that then the piles of snow and neverending freezing cold here in the maritimes

I LIKE THE SNOW!!! IT SHALL STAY.
Apollo
Chris, I just looked at a news site and saw that the flooding there is rather bad. when you said 5 cm of rain each day I didn’t think it’d be that serious. With that data I might stick with snow.
Tilley
ah hahahaha… you can all suffer with the snow… i love it, we got in the nabour hood of something liek 35-40 cm, but where it drifted on my car, i thought it was stolen… you better call in the army for help guys…lol…

Steve

See, I like the snow as it is quite the novelty. And it’s not that I don’t like rain, I just don’t like the quantity that we are getting. =)
Yeah, I’m not sure how the exact calculation works, but 50mm works out to be a whole lot more somehow. If it were snowing right now, we’d have at least 5 or 6 feet of the stuff… and the rough part is it’s been doing this since Sunday and doesn’t appear to be letting up till the weekend.
Chris on the Ark - Update
Oooo, a double comment.
Anywho, just heard that since Sunday, we have received one quarter of our average annual precipitation [1117.2 mm].
On a happier note, I believe the ark is getting close to Hawaii.
Apollo
Do any of you fine folks know of a free DVD copy program?
Apollo
That’s a meter of water. Wow.
Keddy@home
Thats a shit load of water… and think if it were snow it would be 11172cm
