I've also heard that, while calving in greater numbers, the ice is smaller and doesn't make it as far south as previously -- perhaps exacerbated by the fact that the farther north the ice retreats, the farther it has to come.<BR/><BR/>But wait -- the CN Tower is throwing ice at people? It was only a matter of time before it went bad, that tower ...Chris in NFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06064023598020493124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14665637.post-39201003417610812132007-03-05T22:33:00.000-03:302007-03-05T22:33:00.000-03:30Okay, Dr. Lockett, you need to do some site-based ...Okay, Dr. Lockett, you need to do some site-based research on the iceberg question, as just a few days ago a physical geographer here in iceberg-free (but CN Tower-flying-ice-chunk threatened) Toronto told me that because of global warming 'berg numbers in the vicinity of Newfoundland should be on the rise, presumably becuase they're carving off Greenland at an even more rapid rate. Maybe they're taking a different route?<BR/><BR/>MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14665637.post-52230848895147349112007-03-05T13:25:00.000-03:302007-03-05T13:25:00.000-03:30Why, thank you.

But, I was lucky enough to see what they do with the snow. Giant dump trucks of snow are filled to the brim, and driven off to the other side of the tracks, er canal. Right by the Lachine canal is the "snow dump" you wondered about. And its mountains are impressive. Yesterday, however, the dump trucks did not arrive in time, so exiting my campus building after only being inside for an hour, involved shoving a door against 3 inches of packing snow. Walking around town means being stuck behind precious elderly ladies on the narrow footprint-made walkways. It's a winter wonderland alright.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13026289809911034999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14665637.post-94447057891222212007-03-02T22:13:00.000-03:302007-03-02T22:13:00.000-03:30yep, harbour.it's kind of interesting to be sittin...yep, harbour.<BR/>it's kind of interesting to be sitting in, say, cora's early-ish in the morning and watch the procession of green trucks filled with snow go by. it seems fairly efficient, but the sheer volume of snow makes a long go of it.<BR/>as a pedestrian, may i add how scary it becomes walking to the school...or even to the corner store??Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01621376485986177092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14665637.post-21265335629484532282007-03-02T12:40:00.000-03:302007-03-02T12:40:00.000-03:30It is actualy dumped into St. John's harbour, alth...It is actualy dumped into St. John's harbour, although the idea of a glacier has merit. I suggest builing in Mount Pearl, though....<BR/><BR/>No reason, other than a little glacial erosion could only help the place...;)towniebastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129158923604362272noreply@blogger.com
