Yeah, that is a good thing. I recently drove from Vancouver to Calgary for the first time in about 5 years and couldn't believe how much the devastation has spread in that short of a time. In some places as far as the eye could see and up to 90% loss. Terrible!

Oh great! Sandy beaches and palm trees in the Arctic, while we get icebergs in the Georgia Strait:lol:

Just got back last night from sunny Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. We spent last week in balmy Caribbean tempratures of 68-80 F while enjoying the pool deck of our cruise ship, Celebrity Solstice. Stops in San Juan, St Kitts and St Maarten. Sorry no snorkeling pictures since I couldn't swim very well with my wounded shoulder. Had to stick to the lounging on the beaches while drinking rum concoctions and beer. :drinking::mrgreen: Tried to pack a bunch of the warm air to bring home with us, but I think the airlines lost it. :sad:

-18 is a bit of a shock :eek:
