Not a bad weekend for the most part, cloudy Saturday clearing Sunday and dropping temperatures into the -6 area.
Still we are disgruntled there being no snow and the ice not forming on the ponds for safe travel.
A 90 year old in Makkovik lamented that this is the first time no snow was on the ground at Advent.

92 years old that is. He also said that he never remembers a mild winter such as we had last year. People here in Goose Bay are a bit stunned with this crazy weather. But there is lots of snow in Lab West.

I remember there being no snow in 1997 when OK had its Christmas call-in show. As the new guy, I got to play Santa. William Kalleo was in the booth. The first kid he put through the phone lines asked for snow. I looked at William in panic, and he said, "You're on your own, Santa," or something like that. It started snowing later that night. A little Labrador magic. -OBT
