Thanks.
Snow is no longer the issue really.
Where I live out of town, it’s the amount of traction sand (dirt) the DOT lays down each winter that’s the issue.
There is still a lot of it on the road.
So much that it makes a cloud of dust on dry days.
We need some heavy rains to wash it away.
And with all the snow we’ve had, we really have not had much rain.
There’s a lot on my road because I live on top of a hill. They use more on hills.
Plus it’s a dead end road so very little traffic to stir it up and disperse it.
And fresh chip-seal of last two years is holding it more.
Maybe time to consider selling and moving.

If you blow up picture and look behind car, you’ll see pile of snow on the grass.
But it’s almost all gone.
Should be good by Canada day.

I didn’t have to blow up the picture I saw it, my sympathies to you Marc, hopefully it’s gone by Monday

Don’t joke about the sledding part.
An area just south of where he lives is on higher terrain.
Same mountain range as Mont Carleton, they might still be able to sled there.
It’s appropriately called the “Southeast” area.
In my neck of the woods, we go slightly north and east to the Quebec border to an area called “Haut de la rivière verte” or upper green river region.
Again higher terrain, headwaters of the Restigouche river and not far from the Appalachian range and we can probably still sled there too.
Definitely time for better climate.

Nope still around and sled should be put to bed shortly. Had awesome winter though, lots of rides and lots of fun until things got shut down early.
So Roger has been kind of a busy boy lately with the Covid thing going on as we have started to pitch in with the supervision of the Border Checkpoints up here giving the other Public Safety boys some well deserved time off, so working extra shifts. Mustang still in storage as still trying to solve plate issue which is difficult with everything closed down, but made headway here today when I finally reached someone in Fredericton who pointed me in right direction. Hopefully it will be out soon ??
And really been trying to join one of those Zoom sessions so I can catch up with you fellas but work getting in the way of that too, hopefully soon I'll be able to see and talk to Mustang people ???
Completly understand Roger. Very important job you guys are doing to try and keep everyone safe. Glad you got your plate straightened out.

Looking back, my decision to retire from the NB Department of Public Safety 3 months before the lockdown was a good one
And thanks Roger for all of the Hard work by you and your Team to ensure Border Integrity

About 15 minute drive from here.
2020 sucks so far.

Things can only get better from here
Fred, ever time something happens, people say that.Things can only get better from here
Then some else happens. Just wait for the next thing to happen.
Looks like they have one in Chester under control.
Was a house fire not far from big one in porters lake to make fire fighters
troubles bigger, thats out now.
One here, wind turned and was pushing back over burned area and
then wind died, So I suspect they will at least get it contained,
So hopefully not too bad.
