Well, gather 'round and I'll tell.<br /><br />The first snowfall of the year in my neck of the woods strangely coincided with the first of the month. That snow didn't stay too long. However, Wednesday night, we got dumped with 20 cm of snow, most of which is still here. Mind you it's fairly warm out right now so the snow is melting. The traditional NB weather is finally coming back. The past few years we've been enjoying autumn-like weather up to and sometimes including Christmas. I for one will be glad to have lots of snow at Christmas time again. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />This week, crews were in town filming UK's The Mole. Some of the challenges were jumping off the Reversing Falls train bridge (which caused havoc trying to get around the city) and some kind of shopping thing out at the SuperStore on Rothesay Avenue. Also, they're saying on the radio that Spielberg is looking into filming Jurassic Park IV in Saint John. Craziness, I tell you. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>E.
