Unf'nreal.

What's the flavor like in your beer. I kinda like mine hoppy as opposed to malty.

The one that I last brewed (and have on tap) is a Maple Ale. It is definitley on the malt side.

Since I am snowed in I started brewing a batch for the spring and summer

Golden Wheat Lemon Ale.

Banning all driving is not making sense I agree. If the storm progressed to a certain
point where travel is completely unsafe on some roads that is done in Canada all the
time when its real bad. Banning it before the storm is certainly out there. I have been
on mandatory closed roads in the mountains under certain conditions and I can see
why in some circumstances they might but not in the case of a pending storm

Clear and sunny in my part of Northern Ontario all day ... but I do recall a few good ol' Toronto snowstorms: A half dozen flakes and the whole 401 goes flakey


Nice and sunny here in Calgary too. Got warm enough today I had to take my coat off.

Wow, and I thought I lived in the ultimate nanny state, well province actually. Come to think of it though, our ban on smoking in your own vehicle with minors aboard did come from Maine, which is pretty close to Mass., I guess. PLEASE DON'T LET OUR ILLISTRIOUS SOCIALIST LEADER DARREL DEXTER KNOW WHAT YOUR GOVERNOR DID!!!! Things are bad enough here already, and we're bracing ouselves for that same storm.

BTW, how bad is it down there? I hear it is pretty bad in Ontario, which is west of you guys, so I don't know if we are expecting a convergence of storms here, or if its just one biggie. I do know that I got a call a couple of hours ago informing me my first two flights tomorrow are already cancelled, and to call first before heading to work for the third because the whole day might be a write off.

I guess the road clearing crews are going to have a tough time legally getting to work, and doing it too, I wonder if he thought of that :lol:.

Did you know that a truck driver or equipment operator cannot legally smoke in their workplace? Cause your second hand smoke might kill you. You should see the rules Worksafe has put down for working with asbestos. But only for some of us.

You guys still wearing coats? I was painting outside today.

The guy on the news said "it's still coming down". I sure hope so. If it starts to snow from the ground and goes up, it time to worry.

So... our big blizzard has started here in Massachusetts. An equivalent to flurries in Canada.

But what is REALLY getting me going is our illustrious Governor Patrick has banned all driving after 4PM.

That means nobody to man the bars on a Friday!

I live in the ultimate liberal nanny state. I KNOW that he felt a little tingle banning all travel on a Friday night. Lib Democrats so get off on telling people what they can't do.

I heard you where suppose to get something like 3ft of snow in a dump. A foot in an urban
setting can really mess things up (without the wind blowing it around either). If you can stay
home....warm & dry...do so. If you can't.....oh well.

Nuggler's Jeep sounds like a good option....but the Bro-in-Law might let you have his for the
right price, & you don't have to wait 'till Nuggler's Jeep hits 300K either. If you've gotta drive
in the mess it sounds like you're going to have to deal with, this is the way to go....uhm....
give me a few minutes & I'll take a quick picture of it.
