Don’t need that stuff where he lives. Might confuse it with table salt!

Didn't Montreal get screwed last winter also? I think I remember a long term anomaly that had a blue bubble smack over Montreal.

Winter hasn't really started here yet. We had a shot of wet snow that melted yesterday. Double digits and a rain storm this weekend. Pretty typical of our December's lately. Winter doesn't seem to kick off until January. Not really sure how I feel about it. Would be nice to have a wintery Christmas.

I think you might be just remembering Nicko's seasonal whining.

so far I've had to scrape my car once for ice and we haven't had a single significant snowfall. Most we've had is 2-3 light dustings in the morning that are gone by 9am.

We haven't had a daytime high below freezing yet either, though we got close at+0.1 degrees on November 28

The last of the leaves on trees didn't really fall until a week ago or so.

We'll have to see when we get our first real snowfall.. increasingly it seems like it doesn't come until Christmas these days.

It wasn't specific to Montreal only but I remember seeing a map that showed that Eastern North America was one of the least rapidly warming region in the world. I think another region was western South America. If I find it again, I will post.

You say that as if having some stability in a world of rapidly changing climates were a bad thing...

It's probably the same thing!

The stuff you put on your driveway is not pure NaCl. It might make you sick.

Yeah, it's full of rock bits as well I think.

Still tasty. Megadude can back me up.

Truly? I didn't know, I thought that the salt used on the streets when there is snow and ice was the same salt for cooking

When I first got my saltwater pool, I was quite surprised that pool salt was essentially the same product as table salt. It was even made by Sifto.

Also, pool chlorine made by HTH is the same thing as household bleach made by Clorox or Javex.

Another good one for Tancredi!

In fact, here we only use salt for cooking but it could serve as a good luck charm

More beautiful Christmas lights. This house changes the theme every year.

Scariest bus ride to work ever. Absolutely nothing happened but it's stormy here, flurries and blowing snow, and they still go near 50km/hr, which always feels like 100 on a bus. I didn't think we'd stop until we hit something. And now that I've survived I'm going to look forward to these rides in the future haha.

-10C and sunny in Moncton at 9 AM, going up to -1C this afternoon.

After waiting and waiting and waiting for enough snow, and pushing the opening day back 2.5 weeks, Big White is finally opening limited runs today! 69cm Alpine base, with 10cm of fresh snow last night it should be a good day on the mountain.


Down in in the Valley we will see a pretty typical December day, 2c and rain/snow showers this morning then sunshine to finish out the day.

Fantastic, it looks like a landscape from a fairy tale
