Canadian Snow

[3macs1]

I know most of you guys got pounded this year with snow but thought I would share these Feb 24th pictures a friend sent from Newfoundland. This is snow.

On the other hand, we live about 90 miles north-east of Toronto and don't have more than 8 inches of snow on the ground. If weren't for the odd snow drift, we wouldn't have had anything to blow. We had a mild spell from about the middle of December to the middle of January and there wasn't even frost in the ground never mind snow. Other areas weren't quite so lucky. Oswego, NY got hammered pretty badly. I can't imagine trying to get rid of 8 feet of snow.

I guess they must have needed something out of the trunk?? Can't think of any other reason to dig it out, eh?

We got more than usual out west... but still no more than about a foot of snow on the ground at one time (between melts). Its good to see it almost gone, welcome SPRING!

Wow...crazy snow Mac!.
Those pics remind me of when they recovered the Lost Squadron P-38 'Glacier Girl' out of 250 plus feet of solid ice...and we think these cars are expensive to procure and restore!.

That was an extraordinary find and TV documentary and very neat to see that plane fly once again. I just wish they could have recovered more airplanes from that site. If nothing else, it helped make up for the idiot move that Darryl Greenamyer made with the flyable B-29 that he destroyed! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

Rick, was that the B-29 recovery they rebuilt enough to fly out and hadn't secured the gas cans/tanks and it all went up in flames? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif.

man I about cried when I watched that one, to go through all that work out in the middle of no where and have her burn in the end, sad sad deal that was.

Maybe with Global warming the rest of the birds in Greenland can be recovered without having to sink a mineshaft through the ice. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
Couple of B-17's down there in pristine condition. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
