>Hi..oh my, we still haven't heard from any Winnipeggers..I don't take this as >a good sign.... (A transplanted Winnipegger speaks--) It's time to put Marcy--and everyone else--out of their misery! After having spent almost 3 weeks in New England, where they _are_ having spring, I was wondering myself whether to throw the old parka into the trunk of the car on my drive up to Hekla. But maybe not! While there's still a bit of snow around from the recent big dump (which, sadly, I missed), the forecast this week is for sun and increasingly warmer temperatures. I would still bring a warmish jacket, and maybe even light gloves, but throwing a couple T-shirts into the suitcase (along with the bathing suit, of course) probably won't call the wrath of the weather gods down on us. But don't anybody bring shorts. That'll guarantee a May blizzard. From your friendly forecaster. . . Amanda G-J P.S. My horoscope in the Massachusetts Valley Advocate says that for this week, the brains of all Geminis are mush--more precisely, we're "one flying buttess short of a cathedral." So if my forecast is wrong, that's why. Amanda Goldrick-Jones . . . University of Winnipeg Manitoba, CANADA . . . . . [log in to unmask] Phone: 204-786-9453 . . . .
