    No extremes of weather at all. I think it's down to the warm current in the sea. An extreme winter is a fine covering of snow for a day. No hurricanes. A lot heavier rain storms this year which was attributed to climate change.

    More or less the same latitude as New York but the ocean currents are from the Gulf of Mexico.
    So you guys have what we would call a light dusting of snow!!! 😉

    B.C. gets a lot of really heavy rain, probably why our trees look like twigs next to theirs I couldn't believe the size and how high they were on my visit there back 2011. Actually I was on an Island off of B.C little fishing community, stayed at a marina there, old friend I hadn't seen in about 30 years.

    We have had several one in the winter they called white Juan we had one that same fall by the same name.

    Category 2 hurricane
    Juan made landfall between Shad Bay and Prospect in the Halifax Regional Municipality early on September 29 as a Category 2 hurricane with winds of 100 mph (160 km/h). Juan retained hurricane strength while crossing Nova Scotia from south to north, though it weakened to a Category 1 storm over Prince Edward Island.

    One of many but I think did the most damage so far.

    Why would you take any animal out in a hurricane?

    This is white Juan I was talking about that followed the one we had in the fall 5 months before this one.

    White Juan - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org › wiki › White_Juan
    White Juan is the unofficial name given to the hurricane-strength nor'easter blizzard of February 2004 that affected most of Atlantic Canada and the Eastern United States between February 17 and 20, 2004—five months after Hurricane Juan devastated Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

    Just looked at the pictures. What happens if you are caught in that? Did it take out power lines? I'd imagine serious risk if not significant casualties? Not something you could walk through?

    Took down trees and powerlines, I believe one man was struck by a bus while walking across the street ( not in a sidewalk crossing ). He didn't survive his injuries. If you weren't going far you could walk through it, but I certainly wouldn't chance it. Especially with those high winds, one would be stupid to be outside to begin with in it unless of course you were front line worker.

    Tai chi can boost upper- and lower-body flexibility as well as strength. Balance. Tai chi improves balance and, according to some studies, reduces falls. ... Tai chi helps train this sense, which is a function of sensory neurons in the inner ear and stretch receptors in the muscles and ligaments.
