Blaaargh!

methotrexate is kicking my ass. Slept most of the day. Though first thing this morning the house 'fix it' guy was by to check out the oven. He tinkered around, pulled out the schematic paperwork, was perplexed about something, then said he might be back. He was heading to an appliance store and then mentioned that sometimes it's just easier to buy a new one...

So an hour or so later I got word from the landlady that a new oven/stove is coming tomorrow morning at 9.
See, this is one of the many reasons why I've enjoyed being a 'renter' for... my adult life. When something breaks, ensuring you have a decent landlord, it gets replaced..... For FREE! and with no labor on your part whatsoever!

Had to laugh, saw this article on CBC

High snowbanks and power lines don't mix, NB Power warns

NB Power advises people to stay 10 metres — or the length of a bus — away

While it might make for a cool picture to stand atop a high snowbank, NB Power is warning people across the province not to get too close to power lines.

Even if a line isn't touched, an electric current can occur and cause serious injury, the utility says.

"What can happen is once you approach an overhead line you don't necessarily have to touch it to get an electrical shock, an electrical arc can occur," NB Power spokesperson Sheila Lagacé said Wednesday.

NB Power posted a warning on social media after seeing pictures of people standing on top of high drifts and high snowbanks after recent storms, she said.

"Even staff in our regional office in the Acadian Peninsula called to notify about those big snowdrifts and the power lines that were very close to it, so we put out that post."

Safety first

Safety is paramount for all, Lagacé said, so NB Power wanted to remind people to stay a certain distance from power lines.

With water making up about half the human body, a person would be a conductor of electricity and would act like a grounded object, she said.

"When that person is too close to the power line or the live conductor, there's a risk of getting an electrical shock,  especially when the voltage is high."

Lagacé said high voltage electricity can jump.
"For example, kids are playing in wet snow — that can create a dangerous situation."
The best thing to do is to stay 10 metres away — or the length of a bus, she said.

If high snowbanks are a concern, NB Power will work with the proper officials to have them removed.
But the best thing to do, Lagacé said, is to stay away and stay safe.


Have people become so .... dumb? I mean, I did a lot of dumb stunts as a kid and young adult, but c'mon now....

Tomorrow, depending on the accuracy of the upcoming weather and now, I agree, most weather networks/weather people, forecasts, are shit, but I find when you cross reference a group of information from different sources, you can get a good idea, this is how I work with all information i'm in-taking, but according to those reports, tomorrow  is the LAST extremely cold day in the next month.
PLUS, this weekend, time changes, so, MORE daylight! Even though the methotrexates' making me vomit, this makes me happy.... The weather news, not the vomiting.

Don't worry, no vomiting videos, I promise *

*finger's may or may not have been crossed when this promise was made.

Tales From Snicelandia Craptacular 21 Minute Special!

Video volume is louder than typed words......:


Snowstorm Imminent 
Snowfall warning in effect for:

Fredericton and Southern York County
A low pressure system will approach from the southwest tonight and track across Nova Scotia on Monday. Light snow will develop over western New Brunswick overnight into Monday then spread across the province and intensify to snow at times heavy Monday morning and persist through the day. Total snowfall amounts of 15 to 30 cm is expected with the highest amounts most likely over the southern half of the province. Snow may mix with ice pellets over southeastern sections later in the afternoon. In addition, blowing snow over exposed areas will reduce visibilities at times.

Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic in urban areas.

Another Episode of... Snicelandia!

Yes, yes my friends, more adventures from the land of snow and ice!

Snicelandia!


I'm frakin' beat into the Earth today.. 

I did see Buddy again this morning. He's got a hole that comes out just under the corner of the 'barn//garage next door to us (where the fire was). I was super angry to see the fucking squirrels scaring him off. I've compltely filled the bird feeder and I could even see lil Buddy sniffing the air, so he knows what's there, just the squirrels won't leave him be!! Damn them!

Oh well, he'll soon have holes opened up closer to the food source, then he'll fuck over them tree rats!

Tomorrow, snow, a bit of a 'storm'... then Monday... More snow.... In total, if we get max forecast, we may see a further 25/30cm of snow...

Yay!

Vid Footage Of Possibly 'Buddy'- Walkabout & Bird Feeders Up!

Is this 'Buddy' the chipmunk?

And all of this too!:


This is kinda an annual video I post around 'Spring' time... Just to bring in the warmth of the Sun.

Everything that has died over Winter in the Spring is renewed...

Here's Comes The Sun - Ghost version:

This was a 'fan' made video and actually THE video that 'turned me on' to Ghost

Enjoy! The darkness is almost gone, soon we'll bask in the Sun of Summer

BUDDY!!!!

HOLY CRAP! I was sitting eating lunch and I noticed that Elsa was intently watching something out the big picture window... I assumed it was the tree rat... But I got up, went to the window and who was outside??

BUDDY!!!!!

I'm pretty sure it's him.. If not, it could be one of the family! Man! March 1st and he's out and about...

I really hope it's him, I've wondered if he'd survived the winter at all and maybe he did... Like I've said, he certainly wasn't short on food haha...

More to come
