Wait until you go to get in your vehicle which is covered in a quarter inch of ice! It takes forever with a hair dryer to melt enough ice to open the door! And if you don't have genuine snow brush with ice scraper, getting the windows cleared will take a while. Hint - you need something plastic that is strong enough to chip at it. Credit cards fold after a short period so see if your kitchen has a plastic utensil that will do it.

You can buy covers for the windshields to prevent the ice build up - or doesn't it get that cold and snowy where you are in Big Canada Land?

We know how to deal with it, but in North Carolina ...

I remember an ice storm we had when I was a kid. The ice was so thick that you could sail on your sled right through the wild berry thickets....GP

And then there was the blizzard of 78....GP

Sweden apparently also mobilized it's native production tank regiment to protect a local church . Good to see.

Protect a church against what [&:] Or was this some kind of sarcasm [:D]

Good morning folks!

An attempt at sarcasm anyway. [:D] Didn't want to highlight the church, per se. That building is just one of a collection of, just as important, random objects surrounding this quite impressive swedish reinforced armored tactical battle group.

I'll add in a couple of 'good morning'-s for good measure. Although it's already late in the afternoon in Holland. Just 23 pages left to go.

Groetjes,

where are you in Holland ? I lived / worked there for a while [;)]

I like some churches I mean the architecture, but I like more castles, I am a fan.
Seems humankind back developed in regards to building nice structures [:(]

Lets hope this pic is "political correct" [:D]

That was something else. I was living in a suburb north of Boston, and the whole region was shut down for a week. All "non-official" vehicle travel was banned, so you had to walk everywhere. So many anecdotes, but maybe my favorite was that my girlfriend was in a dorm in Boston and after three days they were running out of food. There was a railroad nearby, so I walked to the tracks, flagged down a snowplow train (just the engine, no cars) and hitched a ride into Boston. They gave me one hour to grab the girl and return, which was a little tricky in the days before cell phones. But it worked out!

Today most would be lost without the beloved "cell" and "i-phones". [:'(]

A point of dependency that can be exploited by enemies or natural disasters. Always have a backup system that does not depend on the same technology!

Good evening. Gentlemen. Ladies.

The Bv 206 (SUSV) was an export success, and is capable of transporting troops in almost all terrain. It is being slowly retired now as it has been is service for around years.

I suspect many countries still has it in use. Maybe even the US Army, or Marine Corps, still have some of them remaining in service?

They have been very helpful in assisting people who have been stuck in deep snow.

The sarcasm was splendid. [:)] [&o]

However, the main question remains. Even though I didn't ask it in my original post. What is the purpose of heavily reinforcing the amphibious invasion capacity in the Baltic sea?

New British army recruitment standards
The phone zombie is the most prevelant so far [:D]

I lived in Minnesota for 5 winters, so I'm well acquainted with dealing with it. But you guys have it all wrong. The cars are warm and dry in our GARAGE! [:D]

It's really pretty out right now, but the little bit of snow is now being covered by sleet and freezing rain. Over 40k businesses and homes without power currently in NC. So far, so good here. We had our French Toast for breakfast this morning. [:D] One cool thing to see is that the freezing rain is hitting and freezing on the outside of our windows. That tells me that almost no heat is escaping the house through the windows. [8D]
