Newfoundland Winter

What’s a Newfoundland winter like? Well, I am not even one full month into winter if you count December 21 as the first day of winter. But from what I’ve heard this has been a good one so far, as there was hardly any snow. Up until now.

This is a pic from Monday Jan. 12 after a particularly pretty snow fall. It was light and fluffy, and did one of those excellent blanketing jobs.

Today, with a winter warning effect, is going to be “some different.”

That’s the expression I have picked up first: adding the word “some” in front of nouns to describe things – like that’s some pie. And that’s some beard you have got growing there.

I like this “some” thing.

I don’t like how hard it is to get around in the city during winter. It is some hard. More on that later.

Listening to Newfoundland Radio Stations on the Internet

You don’t have to be in Newfoundland to listen to the province’s radio stations. You can listen to the radio stations streaming live over the Internet.

I just found a great web site that lists all the radio stations in Newfoundland that play on the Internet. It’s on the Canadian Web Radio site which is an internet radio directory. The sits also lists over  600 radio stations from across Canada  which stream over the Internet. That’s good to know if I ever get missing Toronto radio stations. Which seems pretty unlikely – since I hardly listened to them there (they play the same songs over and over .)

But I do like to listen to radio stations when I am visiting a town. It gives you more of the town’s flavour.
