Author Topic: Snow, the weather, and Saint John's film career Fabrux Epic Member Member # 71 posted                       What would cause me to post such a thread as this you may wonder? Well, gather 'round and I'll tell. 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. 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. -------------------- I haul cardboard and cardboard accessories Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Cartman just made by the Presbyterian Church Member # 256 posted                       For the love of [insert preferred deity], not another JP! Anyway, rain's the only thing likely to fall from the local (and currently drab grey) sky this Christmas. Twenty centimeters of snow, sjeez...

Especially with all the really strange stuff these days... We had a dusting of snow, but the rains have melted it away.... -------------------- "You are a terrible human, Ritten."

And, I guess, anything else ending in "cester". They've got odd ideas about place names. If it makes you feel better, there's a suburb of St. Louis called St. John. And it really is "Saint John", not "S(ai)n(t) J(oh)n". Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Fabrux Epic Member Member # 71 posted                       It's pronounced like it's spelt. Not to be confused with St. John's, the capital of Newfoundland. -------------------- I haul cardboard and cardboard accessories Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged
