snow?

November 5th, 2008

There have been a few varying reports coming in from the front about snow sightings here in St. John’s. Most notably here.
Understandable, this has me as excited as a little puppy over nothing to the point of ending up on the floor in a tangle heap of legs and paws. Just like Heidi, a dog [...]

Snow Watch – Day Something or Other +6

January 14th, 2008

So, a couple of days ago, something terrible happened. Dreadful really.
Poor Herman got a lobotomy.

He is, quite clearly, missing a large part of himself. Which is too bad. He’ll never make it to George Street now.
The first person to mention snowbotomy has no soul. Which would now be me and explains a lot.

Snow Watch – Day Something or Other

January 8th, 2008

Snow!

I’ve come to realize, as my driving instructor advised me, that St. John’s doesn’t really get all that much more snow, it’s just poorly managed. Very poorly. This is snow from Christmas that they still haven’t cleaned up. Extra insulation for me I guess.
I’m secretly waiting for it to turn into a glacier and begin [...]

Snow Watch – Day Fourteen

December 14th, 2007

Alright, so I’m actually a day behind on this, but snow!

Just look at it come down. And it didn’t even rain after. I’m still walking in it!

As I was warned, St. John’s is against sidewalk clearing. I haven’t even seen one of the small feather dusters that Halifax has for clearing sidewalks in St. John’s. [...]

Snow Watch – Day Twelve

December 12th, 2007

So no, I haven’t been consumed by copious amounts of snow. In fact, quite the opposite. We get snow, and then we get rain. Followed by more snow and more rain. Which turns to ice. It’s also up to the residents to clear their own sidewalk, so it’s pretty bad for walking here.
I’ll be in [...]

Snow Watch – Day Four

December 4th, 2007

We got a bit of a storm today, but still not much accumulation.
I’m disappointed, the people at work think I need to get a life.

Snow Watch – Day Three

December 3rd, 2007

As some of you may have heard, St. John’s got hit with the snow storm that hit Nova Scotia earlier. Sunday was a bit of a mess here and we actually lost power for a couple of hours. It’s really funny to see how well you don’t know your apartment, stumbling around in the dark [...]

Snow Watch – Day One

December 1st, 2007

So I’m in Newfoundland, and it’s December. This can only mean one thing: snow.
Now I know it’s not officially winter yet, but one does expect snow in December. And everyone here has warned me about the amount of snow St. John’s receives. This also goes hand in hand with the apparent lack of management of [...]
