Re: [IRCA] New England Storm???? sorry, OT>>>

OK, this is increasingly not about DX, but my 
hometown, Victoria, BC is one of the least snowy 
places in Canada, a few inches a year usually 
(too warm in the winter).   But given that 
marvellous coverage of the Great Canadian 
Blizzard, it's quite difficult to find out what 
Victoria went through in late 1996, which was 
considerably deeper, and happened over one day:

http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/storm_watch_stories3&stormfile=a_look_back_at_victorias__291211

I suspect the local tourist bureau erases 
references as quickly as they appear, and of 
course the rest of Canada doesn't want to know 
because they'd rather laugh at our inability to 
handle the couple of inches that we normally 
get.....and, on a personal level,  we've since 
plastered over the cracks that appeared in our 
ceiling from the weight of the snow on the roof, 
so it's as if it never happened.

best wishes,

Nick
