Subject: RE: BS: ICE - the winter kind
Gosh. Just caught it on the news. Sounds pretty bad down there. Our ice is slowly melting. Temperature here in Moncton, New Brunswick is now 3C and there is little rain or wind, but they are still forecasting 15C, 90kph and possible thunderstorms, with temps falling to -6C tonight.

I just checked the New Brunswick and Maine radars and Moncton MAY get by without a direct hit. 60km to our NW, the radar looks wild, but it looks to be moving NW. Of course, if any of the transmission lines get hit, our power could go out as well.

We are blessed, at times, by the Gulf Stream as well. It pushes warm water up the Bay of Fundy and there is not much land between that bay and the Northumberlad Straight, where the water is even warmer well into the winter.

All youse guys down there take care eh! And keep letting us know how you are doing.
