Ya he gives it and takes it as well. I actually think he enjoys the banter. Wasnt he banned in the USA :lol: :lol: for antagonizing the snow loving citizens there? :clap: :clap:

No offence Nito. I'm just razzing you. I value your knowledge. I'm sure most feel the same here :thumbup:
Edit: just not sure of your warm bias :think: :think:
Looking forward to our first 3 day stretch of sun and 20c++ 8-)

No one is allowed to bring the smoke machine.
Why not try cycling to work, grocery store, anywhere!

If it were a tropical system, it would be a category 2 hurricane.

Yeah that's nuts. Imagine how screwed the lower mainland would be if we had that storm.

Holy crap. I was in a typhoon once in HK but it was only Cat 1 and I thought it was something fierce. This is insane especially for an extratropical system.

Hopefully not too much damage happens...

I was in PEI during Dorian last September and there was a decent amount of damage from that one, mostly along the north shore.
