Brian  - I'd brace yourselves for some wind in the next few days.  Grand Etang, NS saw 172k/h last night and Norris Pt., Nfld a record 201k/hr.

The Weather Channel sent two out to witness the infamous les suetes winds of Grand Etang:

They take a bad tumble here and I heard they lost things in the Gulf.

Mike    - +7c tomorrow, +10c Saturday.  You can see how quickly the sidewalk cleared with that 44 degree latitude sun blazing down, trouble is it can also fry broadleaf evergreen when the ground is frozen as well.  Another snow event is possible in a few days but the coast here may get rain.  We are not amused.   

The car this morning.

The closest to you I've visited John is Mt Washington in New Hampshire for the fall.

It was spectacular.

Mike  - That's a true arctic climate there.  I've heard the highest winds on earth have been recorded up there but ooh the flora.
