Hi Chris 

Theres no such thing as the "worst winter ever in NS" 

 

Yup, good and bad are too subjective to measure!

 

The weather varies so much across NS theres no way to compare. 

Lets remember its not so long ago a learned member of the group was 

complaining about lack of snow cover! 

 

We shouldn=E2=80=99t have to worry about forest fires this spring!

 

Halifax is / was never in the snow belt before and since 

most of the media live there, they are complaining like hell! 

 

Truer words were never spoken!  J

 

Enjoy it while it lasts! the black flies are not far away 

 

(and the black-legged ticks.  Hope this winter put the kai-bosh on some of =
them.  Removed two (one of which had latched on) from myself last November.=


 

Every cloud has a silver lining=E2=80=A6

 

Paul
