Colin Wheadon of Sackville said while he's seen more snow — it took him more than six hours to shovel out after White Juan's 95.5 centimetres in February 2004 - last weekend's blizzard of 35 to 40 centimetres on Saturday, Feb. 9 was in the Top 3. "It's definitely the most I've seen in two days straight. I barely got shovelled out yesterday then I had to wake up today and start again." BOBBIE-LYNN HALL 6 width:500px;height:375px

Local band Sunday Run played at the second annual Cabin Coffee club party on Jan. 26 to a capacity crowd of members and guests of the Heart & Sole running club. Generous contributions from attendees netted more than $300 to donate to Margaret’s House (Feeding Others of Dartmouth), which was presented by band members Normand d’Eon and John Lam on Feb. 7 to Karen Goudie, representing Margaret’s House. The band has been supportive of Margaret’s House, having made donations from the first annual Cabin Coffee club party last year and recently raising $400 at a live auction for Margaret’s House where the services of the band were sold. Other band members Kelly Pitre, Neil Tramble and Norm Hill were not available for the presentation. The money will help provide hot meals and services for folks who visit the house. (G.
