NB GP snow
>Hi Al...With that amount of snow, you qualify to be in Northern New

Ken-yes,agreed,it "frustrating the way some people rub it in",but you know
the story of the old bull and the young bull---our weather is the old
bull,Giant Pumpkinly speaking.
But you take the cake re snow.How did you ever grow the amazing 711
provincial record in that sub-arctic climate.I predict too that your record
is safe for several more years.
You can be justifable proud of that 711.
I believe now that you take the prize for snow at present and I am a
distant second for anyone on here.Don't usually chit-chat much publicly,but
is is a GP garden snow/ice pack. Time to let it rest,and
melt-----take care
