Hi Everyone this is the most snow seen since I have been back (16 years) in the Village of Baie Ste Anne, NB. I'm running out of shovelling space.

Hi Jim
When you say you have snow up to the roof, I believe you . What ever processed you to retire in Red Deer, You being from
La Belle Province . Is Norma from that area. Take care .

Hi Boys

These pics are NOT mine, they are Aldore MacIntyre's who signed Joe. That is Baie Ste Anne New Brunswick!! Aldore sent me them to put on the post. Sorry for the inconvenience!!!

Yes I know that you read these postings kinda quick and after all the"Baie Ste Anne New Brunswick" was on top with the pics and signed by Joe.

Ron, you are right on there, today is the day the melting is starting to show, I can see out of the computer room window. The worst I seen since the early sixties. I won't think of it this summer on www.escuminacbeach.com over looking the Miramichi Bay.
