Two blizzards for St. John's in a row.

We've snow now as well. In the open areas there's enough to snowshoe, but not quite yet in the woods.

This morning it was -20C

I almost clipped a couple of joggers on my way home from work.

The roads are so narrow in places, and the snow-clearing is so bad for a big city. I think it's supposed to warm again for the weekend. The joggers will welcome this.

If there's a good thing about cold weather, it's that coffee somehow tastes even better than normal.

Oh fuck yah

The grizzly guy in the last one resembles a very large and disheveled Eddie Vedder. Those guys were so great. I never did see their movie, Brain Candy, but I should check it out.

This is my personal favourite KITH skit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc86YZy83Og

Oh noooooo no second page for us Canuck bastards.

"second page"...?



Now it seems Cape Bretoners are thinking of demanding "nationhood", too.

Having been to Cape Breton, I'd have to say that while most of the (old-timer) residents are rather quirky, an old CB miner not much different than an old Eastern Shore fisherman. The idea that they're a distinct nation is ludicrous, there are so many different cultures on that tiny island (Scottish, French Acadian - huge amounts, Irish, English, Native - largest reserve in Canada) that calling Cape Breton one "nation" makes no more sense than calling them all "Canadian".

I, for one, consider my nation to be Canada - and I'm fucking proud of it.

Can we get some appreciation here for long underwear? It's getting to that time of year when layering is key

I have a feeling plenty of Newfoundlanders will be kicking up a big fuss about this "nation" thing as well...the "Free NFLD" shirts everyone wears are going to be popping up all over the show. As if there weren't enough of them to begin with.

Quebec always ruins everything. At least they've got a good NHL team.

Quebec is SO HOT RIGHT NOW.
