Swollen
Doomsday is upon us!In a scene reminiscent of The Day After Tomorrow, global warming has hit full force and the melting polar ice caps have cause oceans to rise and flooding all the way the St. John River to Fredericton. When I saw this pictures in the Gleaner I didn't even bother to read the whole story and went out to take some pictures. Here is what's going on at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery today:
Priceless!And this is the view from the old Embassy at 877 Union:
Crazy!Update: It turns out that all this high water is actually a result of the annual swelling of the river due to snow melt. Not so swell if you ask me; this year's record snow and the warm couple of weeks we've had caused it to melt quickly and speed up the process. If we happen to get any rain we may be in for a big one. We could see some water in the Bakery's basement.
In other news that could actually be related to global warming, it seems that Jonesy is having some difficulty making it to the North Pole because of all the open water on the Arctic Ocean. Read the full story here.
Pace out.

The high water is only just getting scarey here at the grandest lake. With the projected heavy rains coming today and tonight, I am be needing a couple of hefty nephews to help evacuate the basement.
