That's a calling card for a break and enter but a tough getaway

Rainstorm tomorrow. Should be quite a mess.

This is typical, but the forecast looks sunnier.

It was decent today. Some rain and some sun. 10c

I was flying above 5055 Joyce in Joyce-Collingwood in between the rain showers.

6C and overcast today. Some rain started this afternoon. Feels so nice to finally have some mild weather despite the mess outside.

Low of 3C this morning.

The warmspots were Aschroft and North Cowichan, BC at 13.0C.

Warmest low was Sisters Island, BC at 7.2C

Snapped this yesterday. The city has been very slow with snow removal.

No rain yet but the snow is noticeably lower than last night so maybe it did earlier.

Mild enough already. Not looking forward to walking to/from the bus stop if it's pouring.

To be expected... At least you can walk around on the snow. And my street gets lots of foot traffic since there's a school at the top.

And lots of shopping carts have been coming out of hibernation.

+1C and overcast in Moncton at 9 AM, going up to +4C this afternoon with showers.


From the other day. Downtown Moncton giving off urban vibes.

Robbers don't typically bring snowblowers to their break-ins.

That term seems to be used interchangeably. I sometimes have to think about the context. The first time was when I was working at a credit union and someone wanted to finance a snow machine. I thought why would you need a loan for a snowblower?

Actually there’s a brilliant cover for creative theives. Have a couple of perps clear the driveway with a snowblower, while others go around back to gain entry. The neighbours will just think the homeowners hired a crew to clear the property while the snowblower sounds will mask the “break and enter” sounds.

Of course that sounds like too much work for lazy/drug addled theives, and if they were that ambitious they would probably have real jobs or be moving their way up in organized crime…

Oh, I probably knew the term snow machine was for a snowmobile. It just didn't click with me immediately.

In Quebec the two terms you hear are "ski doo" as you say, and also "motoneige".
