-It has been hovering around 0 for the past day or so. This is rather unfortunate as it means that most of the snow that fell on Wednesday morning is beginning to melt and make a mess of many of sidewalks and intersections. The other problem is that the situation will quickly become quite dangerous if the temperatures drop below freezing as everything will turn to ice (as is wont to happen in such conditions).
-It seems that Wednesday's snowfall managed to close a number of our local institutions of higher education. Dalhousie was closed for the day, which seemed a little excessive to me. SMU, on the other hand, was only closed for the morning. And if you are wondering, contrary to what was reported by several media sources, it was not a storm at all, just a snowfall (at least in downtown Halifax).
-In my class today I had the pleasure of giving a presentation in which I was able to touch on the 1995 Turbot War (and presumably introduce a number of my younger classmates to this incident). My parents were forward thinking enough in 1995 to suggest that I accompany them to the St. John's harbour front to watch the Estai be towed into port. Though I didn't quite get the significance of the event at the time, I think that I now have a slightly better handle on why it was they suggested we head down to the harbour with thousands of others to watch what turned out to be a relatively historic event.
Generally I think that the presentation went pretty well. I think that I engaged my classmates and presented the material in a way that drew attention to a number of issues that weren't addressed directly by the assigned readings for the week (which was the goal of the presentation).
-In the second half of the class, which was after my presentation, we were joined by Alexa McDonough, the former leader of the federal NDP. It was nice that she was able to stop by and present an opposition politician's view on Canadian foreign policy and the ability of an MP to influence it.
-I guess I should either get back to work or go to bed.
