Jeeze, I never realized I was surrounded by so much wood.

In other news, it's frickin' cold here today. It was a balmy 12 yesterday and now it's -8. There wasn't any fire in the woodstove last night and I'm frozen. This morning when I tried to light the fire the chimney was cold and I got wondrous backdraft and a rec-room full of smoke. I opened all the doors and windows to clear out the smoke and let the wondrous -8 air in. So now I'm colder. But I did manage to get a fire going so it will warm up eventually. We do have electric heat, but the wood stove gives of such a nice cozy heat.
Further to the weather, there's another blizzard on the way...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPING OFF THE AMERICAN SEABOARD WILL INTENSIFY AS IT TRACKS NORTHEASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON. THIS STORM WILL APPROACH THE MARITIMES THIS EVENING AND ITS PATH IS FORECAST TO CROSS CAPE BRETON ON MONDAY. VERY STRONG WINDS ALONG WITH HEAVY SNOWFALL GIVING BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO BEGIN THIS EVENING AND TO PERSIST INTO MONDAY MORNING FOR MOST AREAS OF NOVA SCOTIA.
Can you Americans please KEEP the low pressure systems that you develop?
S'funny. I remember historically getting maybe 3 blizzards in my entire life and a couple of the tail ends of hurricanes - no real hurricanes, just lots of wind and rain. In the past 2 years we've had one category 3 hurricane and three blizzards. Does nobody else find this odd? I suspect if we get the 40 cms of snow that they're calling for I will be working from home tomorrow, which kind of sucks because I'm SO far behind and I've left all my files at work. Hey, but maybe school will be canceled. Which kind of sucks too, actually, because I'm going to TO next week and will miss that class. That'll mean 2 classes in a row. Oh well. I am SO not into this class. A pass will do me just fine. Who cares about an A average.
There's a guy in Halifax who is trying to get everybody here prepared for the next time a Tsunami hits Nova Scotia. Um... To the best of my understanding of plate tectonics, we're in a pretty darn stable area. Now, I'm not saying it won't happen, but Jeeze, aren't there other things we can be alarmist about?
Ok, I'm done. I'm going to go get into the shower and don multiple layers of fleece.
