As The World Turns

Last friday, which was yesterday, overnight,which was thursday night, it dropped about 2 and half inches of snow!!!

In the morning, I had to go to Banff to take my theory test for the motorcycle licencing (my pet hobby) and discovered the car was under all that snow!

So I spend about 5 mins using a cloth (then I had regretted not buying the snow brush that other day....damn......sigh) scraping all that snow off the car if not how to see and drive?? .....damn cold doing it, i was freezing must have been like minus 5 deg or something.......

Some other thoughts too..

The tv stations here had around the clock coverage of hurricane katrina and now rita...

Previously living in Singapore, u dont realise the significance of weather related stuff, cos the place is so small, you are so insulated, even the Tsunami wasnt even felt..

Here its so big a place, i once saw the actual weather front of a low pressure system going thru the area, it stretched from horizon to horizon like a curving grey band, one side of it was clear the other side was hazy, can see cos the prairies are soooo flat.......

Here u get the full impact of weather, I really get a kick out of watching the weather channel everyday to see what is coming up

But its so sad to really understand WHAT all that talk about global warming is about, cos in Singapore its already damn hot so what warming???

But here, seeing glaciers retreating because of global warming, knowing what its like for the people who go have to survive a hurricane because the weather here can be just as nasty....

I have driven up and down the Malaysian highway and not once paid attention to the wind socks on the highway there, here alamak the car rocks when you are driving and a gust comes along..

Interesting, I'm waiting to see what a 2 foot high snow fall is REALLT like... i can hardly wait..NOT!
