the last feel that how a friend phrased the rising up the lo Acton our bus was doing on a trip from Toronto I always think the foot fference makes a different world out of Acton a son lit was referring mainly to the weather and he was right It t until we moved to southern Ontario and became ire of the variations of wcatherwithinn miles as we lived on the edge of several snow cycles that I came to notice the weather so much In all I remember is rain and two days of snow unbearable heat not bad for years Montreal the Ottawa Valley were predictably hot or very cold with lots of snow We moved lo Elora in March and I thought it was Florida Spring not due lo another four or five weeks in the valley was galloping full force in lora snow was gone crocuses were blooming and the birds were back I think iw it was an exceptionally early spring Now tint I live in Alton I too think is part of the froen north it funny how lime wl moved a few miles further south the winter weather was markedly different Vie farmed for four years one mile north of High way Wendy Thompson living In he warm south below used lo phone and demand an update on our weather before attempting to visit Many a time she d leave Acton in sunshine only to find blowing snow three feet deep up our way After moving south of the highway six ago to God country I realized just what she meant in I of weather Up until recently the children went to school in Ospnnge When the buses were and I looked on our south Highway sunshine before phoning and complaining I was told north was having a roiring snowstorm Although Acton seems the benign south it s a far cry from towns on the bottom of the escarpment How many times have you left home in thick fog to have it dissipate as you slid down the escarp ment to Milton Or vise versa Whatever weather wc re having way up here you can almost guarantee the reverse is tine down that feet Recently we wire having a couple of Inches of friendly snow wafting around the back yard However the two Toronto radio stations I listen to were screaming blue murder about a blizzard In the city Storm warnings were out traffic announcers were predicting an accident filled rush hour people were warned to get home early Knowing the distinct possibility of Toronto getting different weather from us I was pretty nervous about my impending supper lime trip to However when off nice and early to tackle the great storm below the escarpment I found only wet roads a sprinkle of snow on the road banks and Toronto traffic doing the usual What a fuss about nothing those traffic an should live north of Highway or or better yet in the Ottawa Valley I Weather favorite Canadian conversational topic without It wed be an uncommunicative nation never bung able a on The Acton Press Wednesday
