Nor’Easter
« on: October 29, 2018, 12:53:17 pm »
I experience one in Quebec City my last day and night there. Holyfuckingshit. You have never seen such wind. Not in gusts either; the wind blew for hours without letting up.
Often wrong, but never in doubt.

Reason #457 that I live in Texas.  I don't want to experience cold winds.

Otherwise, how was Quebec?  Hope you had some good weather first.

I love Quebec City and have been there before. It was cold and windy all three days but nothing like when the storm hit.

You don't have to shovel heat.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Nor'Easters are not to be trifled with and, even a glancing blow like you received in Quebec can deliver quite a wallop.  It's hard to fathom for most but the most powerful nor'easters are up to 4 times as powerful as even the most powerful hurricanes.

The correct expression is "you don't have to shovel sunshine"...but you're becoming a true Southerner.  We're proud of you.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

You can always put more clothes on.  You can only take so much off.....
