I hope everyone is enjoying the awesome spring weather. I love it. Unfortunately my family back home tell me they've had the most brutal winter in recent memory, and it isn't letting up. Seems to be the same up in Canada. Check out this east coaster trying to get out of his house earlier this week. (And what aboot that wacky accent, eh?)

Man we had an easy winter this year.

Newfie here, guilty as charged. Yes, it was a rough winter and it still isn't over, but getting there. It was my first winter back on the island in 17 years. My brother told me on average my hometown here gets the highest annual snowfall in all of Canada. There's still a few feet of the stuff yet to melt away.

When I came back just over a year ago, on a flight from Montreal with a transfer at Halifax, with a long storm delay.. on the flight from Halifax to my hometown, there was a guy sitting next to me saying something I could not understand. The old Newfie accent perplexed me then. I still sometimes have a bit of uncertainty in what Newfs are saying, and I grew up here. But many years away could do that. Culture shock occurred too, just as big as ya might get living in Asia.
