Spring has sprung everywhere, the passing of March 21st officially announced Spring, the snow has melted, Easter is over, the robins are back and Ed Silva in Connecticut has even been on the links.

We have had a few really nice warm days but so far they have just been teasers for what's to come. I know, I know, soon … (5 comments)
winter: The Advantages Of The Big Dump
- 02/09/13 11:12 PM
The Advantages Of The Big Dump Yes, Old Man Winter flexed his muscles, laughed at the old groundhog calling for an early Spring and dumped about 14 inches of that white stuff down on us. Much more in some parts of States we've heard. It caused havoc on the roadways, people's back and quite a few dents in the lines of car designs but there is a positive side and many advantages to the big dump. The snowmobile and ski fanatics are thrilled with the conditions of the trails, the ski operators and owners are very thankful after the drought of the last few … (14 comments)

Brampton, Ontario, Canada Is A Winter WonderlandAnother snowfall hit The City of Brampton, Ontario, Canada but the city does it's best to keep our streets clear and safe. They do a pretty good job of it too.

Don't Believe Everything You Are Told or Read It won't be long before Old Man Winter arrives. Now is the time to prepare your home for the freezing weather ahead. Besides the normal things you do like having the furnace serviced, raking the leaves, cleaning the eavestroughs etc., one of the most important things to remember is to shut off all of your exterior water taps. You need to find the interior tap that shuts off the outside tap. After turning off that tap you need to turn on the outside tap and let any trapped water escape. If you forget … (14 comments)
