days are going to start getting longer and spring right around the corner. early dark thing
is the big guage for me, love getting rid of the short hours of daylight, and noticing the
change.
of course we don't have what many call a real winter anyway, and I don't want one.
beautiful sunny day today, and yesterday was the same, only much warmer, there were many parked
at the ocean side, walking and just hanging out.

You mentioned a meter of snow over a few weeks or so. They should have hired and cleared it away.
I was in NB in 92 - Jan - 160 CM fell in the 1st 24 hrs - then 1 more cm fell. 161 CM - about 5 feet 3 inches.
