Christmas 2013

[Marc Montgomery]

Keith Webb-- hey that's well done!
Robert- 'barnac that looks good..

For those not in Canada, most of the southern areas of central and eastern Canada just went through a massive ice storm.. hundreds of thousands without power, and several days later, still, in Toronto area still 115,ooo sans power.. although crews are working hard to repair lines... Fortunately winds have been fairly calm. A windy day would bring down more ice covered branches and more lines down.

Starting to get chilly also.. as I write this, at 1800 on the 24th, its -14 in Montreal and with wind feels like -21

BUT, apparently clear skies so good flying for Santa Claus.

(note two (Cdn) CF-18s accompany Santa briefly and this apparently got the wind up some childrens advocacy group in the US who said NORAD was "militarizing" Christmas and promoting violence !!!

In spite of that silliness.. Merry Christmas !!!!
