A' Post Classified Will pay you dividends. Have yoti tried one? Nal Brussels 881-6641, Winter will be a little different in. Canada this year. Two Federal Cabinet Ministers issued a joint statement to this effect today in Ottawa. The Honourable Alastair Gillespie, Minister responsible for implementation of the metric system in Canada and the Honourable Jeanne Sauve, Minister of Environment Canada, said "We're not expecting meteorological conditions to change , but we do want to. remind Canadians that as of September 1, rain and snow accumulations and forecasts will be reported in metric units." Madam Sauve said the Atmospheric Environment Service will use mm (Millimetres) for reporting rainfall and cm (centimetres) for reporting snowfall. The reporting of snow in centimetres is regarded by Mr. Gillespie as a unique opportunity for Canadians to become familiar with its metric measurement. "Here is something visible," he said. "When you look out your window, after hearing that so., many centimetres of snow fell overnight, you'll be taking a crash course in metrics." From there, it's fairly easy to grasp the other basic length measurements - millimetres and metres.. Mr. Gillespie, a skier himself, commented that it was to be hoped that "we get all the snow we need but not so much that we have to think of it in metric tonnes." The Metric Commission has published benchmarks which will, assist people in familiarizing themselves with the system.An overnight rainfall of 5 man is just enough to leave spots on your car, 20 mm of rain keeps our grass green but it's not enough for your roses, 25 mm of rain gives all vegetation a' pretty good drink and 50 mm overnight is a very heavy rainfall. A snowfall of. 3 cm can be handled by a broom but is likely to make the steps slippery. If 30 cm of snow falls it means road plows are out, you're probably wishing you had a snowblower, and kids are thinking about tobogganing. Mr. Gillespie said that next April, the final conversion in weather reports and forecasts issued to the public will be made when windspeeds and barometric pressure will be measured in the metric system. 0 • IN LIQUID MEASURE, WI-IAT DO TWO PINTS MAKE ?
