A silver lining

Posted on October 11, 2010 by Arthur

This Saturday, we ended up in Uptown SJ to look at the cruiseship, Silver Whisper (Silversea Cruises). Compared to ships that normally sail in, the Silver Whisper is a small ship and appears to be a fairly luxury cruise-liner. From … Continue reading →

Round here

Posted on October 2, 2010 by Arthur

The last 48 hours it was storming so much that at times it reminded me of Hurricane Juan back in 2003. This morning I found out that apparently the wind was so strong that it had blown the BBQ upside … Continue reading →

Fluctuating

Posted on December 11, 2008 by Arthur

I was complaining the other day to Alfons about the weather: or rather, I think he sent me a screenshot of the long term weather forecast for this area, dryly asking ‘if I thought the temperature was fluctuating’ and ‘how … Continue reading →

Off-ice.

Posted on May 7, 2008 by Arthur

A couple of observations: I follow the US Democratic race but tend to keep it off xsamplex: However, I keep thinking if the Clintons are just bad losers. Seriously, when is enough is enough? Keith Olberman’s summary perfectly illustrates the … Continue reading →

The sound of

Posted on January 20, 2008 by Arthur

This morning, I woke up with the sound of snowplows driving by our house, which to me, is the first hint that it’s time to do some shoveling outside. So, I guess, that’s something I’ll be planning for later. We’ve … Continue reading →

Weatherwise (and other news)

Posted on October 2, 2007 by Arthur

We’re going through some sort of ‘heatspell’ (if you can call it that way) with temperatures ‘clocking around’ the 20 degrees. Which is generally good, but then, the temperature has been going down fast at night: a couple of nights … Continue reading →

Cold. Huh?

Posted on August 20, 2007 by Arthur

The weather at night seems to be going slowly downhill: tomorrow morning we’ll be hitting temperatures between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius. This is probably a good thing, hurricane-wise (I was thinking of hurrican Dean), albeit a bit too early … Continue reading →

Freaky Thunder

Posted on June 28, 2007 by Arthur

Last night and this morning, we had some freak thunderstorm: I’m probably not the only person who had a hard time sleeping. Additionally, the storm brought several power outages: I hear that there are still people without power this PM. … Continue reading →

Posted on April 7, 2007 by Arthur

If there was something like ‘Easter Night’, then it looks like Christmas outside. Snow that is and while this was obviously part of today’s forecast, it took me, dog and the snow plow drivers by surprise. It should be gone … Continue reading →

You’ve got flu

Posted on March 9, 2007 by Arthur

I happened to run into a meeting with the flu, last Monday, and I’m gradually recovering. I’ve not been sick since I’ve lived here: a feat I thought was so unique that it could have earned me a place in … Continue reading →

Winter March

Posted on March 2, 2007 by Arthur

There’s a weather warning for the Maritimes, and I can tell from the snowshovels that appear to be driving around the block (and the wind gusts): Snowfall accumulations of 10 to 20 centimetres are forecast for many areas before the … Continue reading →

Nah

Posted on March 1, 2007 by Arthur

I closed down the comments for now: the last 3 days I received spam that came (consistently) from one IP address (Australia, if you want to know). Consistently. For three days. You’d say that an administrator would know after 3 … Continue reading →

The S

Posted on February 18, 2007 by Arthur

The third week of February is just around the corner, and guess what? It’s almost Spring! Idle hope maybe, since we’re still skimming the low -10s. For now, on average, Winter seems to have been cold but not as cold … Continue reading →
