I met a Norwegian immigrant last night, a man in his 40s. He has lived in Nova Scotia for four years. At one point, the conversation turned to snow days.

“You know,” he said, “in 40 years in Norway, I never saw one snow day. Not from school. Not from work.”

Four years in Nova Scotia, and he’s seen about 40.

Just saying’.
