We have all been warned about global warming and the effects on the environment..a new thing.We are experiencing such mild weather that flood warnings have been issued for the rivers and streams..and let me quote:
"....Elgin County farmers got in some early plowing; a Proton farmer tapped some maple trees, found the sap running. At Goderich the courthouse lawn had to be trimmed......The Sauble River, the Etobicoke, the Humber, the Sydenham and the Big Head boiled over their banks. As the bottom went out of roads in the Maritimes. logging virtually stopped...."
