[malaise]

14. It's Ted Cruz

[pinboy3niner]

[malaise]

10. You're too good

[lovemydog]

[jpak]

4. It's Friday night in St. John's NFLD

and you can be sure that all the bars on George St. are full and the locals are walking around in the rain, wind and snow with no hats.

[Maedhros]

7. Listening to this:

[trof]

26. Crap. I went to see a fight and a hockey game broke out.

That joke has been on Medicare for at least a decade.

[lovemydog]

39. All time classic.

[lovemydog]

38. Stompin' Tom Connors

That's appropriate.

I love those old-timey novelty songs.

[Tom_Foolery]

6. The sea was angry that day, my friends...

Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.

[BlueJazz]

22. !!

[Lochloosa]

8. Thats a long way from you.

I think you're safe.

[malaise]

23. Ha

I'm in the Caribbean Sea -very safe

[bvar22]

9. "The Sea was angry that day, my friend."

Sorry. Couldn't help it.
My grade school teachers always said I had poor impulse control.

More to the point,
that does look like a nasty storm.
Would that be what those folks call a "Noreaster"?

[malaise]

11. That would be correct :-)

<snip>
Get ready for a dip in the temperature over the next few days, culminating in a snowy Friday.

This evening, there will be cloudy skies and isolated showers and wet flurries across the province. Then, as the cold front passes, we'll see some clearing overnight.

Low temperatures will be between –12 C and –8 C, and closer to –6 C on the coast.

Be careful of icy spots on the roads due to the thawing and freezing we've had over the last 24 hours.
Thursday afternoon temperatures


It looks like Friday's nor'easter will get close enough to impact Nova Scotia.

[KatyMan]

12. Do people really say "Noreaster"

without feeling self-conscious?

[pinboy3niner]

16. You'll never hear a Californian say "Sou'wester" :) nt

[malaise]

25. Somewhere across the pond is going to get hit

for sure

[rufus dog]

35. As a Californian I have to disagree, potentially

I may have uttered something similar to that when attempting to order another beer.

"Unather weiser, .... BUD!" As a comedian once said, that is how Budweiser became the best selling beer, you didn't want one but it was the only thing you could say. Anchor st, st, anker, BUD!

It is the genius behind Stella Atrois, early on you can order by full name, later just "STELLA" in your best Brando impersonation, which isn't hard when buzzed.

[Divernan]

17. Ayah!

[jpak]

19. +1

[jberryhill]

27. Yes

It's what these types of storms are called.

I can't believe people call soda "pop" without feeling odd.

[KatyMan]

32. Well

I never knew if it was a sort of media made up word.

And agree on pop, that's nuts. Although by soda I assume you mean coke. All fizzy drinks are called cokes here in Houston.

[jberryhill]

40. Ah

Nor'easter has a specific connotation in the mid-Atlantic and northeastern coastal areas. West Atlantic tropical hurricanes usually peter out by the time they get up here, but nor'easters rake along the coast and have taken many fishermen.

The one just after Sandy was a double-dose of shit.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

33. Beat me to it! I have it already playing when I saw your post :) nt

[Warpy]

15. It's kind of garden variety, the way this year has been

Newfoundland is getting pounded the worst, which means the drunks will be roaring up and down the main drag in St. John's in their ATVs and snowgos, pissing off the local constabulary who take a dim view of frozen drag racing.

Great story out of Ireland after what we called Goliath and they called Gertrude:

Omagh's flying rabbit: Bunny rescued from roof after Storm Gertrude

Forget run, rabbit, run - this is a story that's all about fly, rabbit, fly.

The fire service rescued a rabbit from the roof of a bungalow in Omagh, County Tyrone on Friday morning.

Bumper the bunny was thrown onto the roof after Storm Gertrude blew his hutch over in high winds, said the fire service.

The pet was a hare's breadth from disaster - but managed to hold on until rabbit rescue arrived.

20. Better Atlantic Canada than NYC

We've had quite enough of that angry ocean stuff thank you.

[malaise]

21. Be nice

Stay safe Canucks

[LiberalElite]

24. hey, it's all about ME ok?

[malaise]

29. LOL

I hear yah

[Marrah_G]

28. This is a noreaster.

Sometimes more damaging then a hurricane. Think "The Perfect Storm".

[malaise]

30. Yep

That's a big a$$ storm

[Marrah_G]

31. My parents had a house on the cape back during the 91 storm

There was a big ass sailboat that wound up coming over the sea wall and the keel was embedded in the front lawn like someone picked it up and set it there. Poor owner was sitting at the yacht club watching it lose its mooring and float down the inlet....no insurance.

Our house survived but we lost half the seawall and since it was a protected area it cost a fortune to fix.

Edit: just want to point out that this was a rental property my parents rented out to people, not a vacation house for us. I realized how the post looked after I hit send.

[malaise]

42. Wow

Nor'easters are as bad or worse than hurricanes

[spanone]

34. that is massive.....

[Sunlei]

41. grew up right on the atlantic ocean, bricktown, nj Snows every winter & Ocean is always angry :P

Spring will be here soon enough
