The experts say we will receive a storm today, tomorrow and Sunday - supposedly starting approx 4pm this morning - nothing yet - perhaps it will boot its way oot to the Bay Of Fundy. That is a really neat shot of the lake with the ice under the water - that happens here frequently, so I knew what you were talking about.
