The Huron Expositor, 1979-11-29, Page 11"' Paul fills Snow Here we sled out eives, at the bring of -December,winter in the #hinds of most southwestern Ontario residents, ,and we. seem to have a surprising lack of what this;, 44i, region is well noted for: SNOW. The fluffy white stuff is predicted for this weekend, but then again, it bis been in .the. forecast for several weeks, now. Earlier in. the fall, as the memories ofa great summer were still in mind, snow truly was considered a four letter word bye ,.most people. But as; usual, there was that group of cold -loving,; :Eskimo -like types whojust: couldn't wait to get out on their snowmobiles or skis- This breed has been: uptight ever ;lance .the first week of November, •traditionally the first big snowfall. Now their anxiety has turned to suffering A few more snowless weeks will certainly bring on pure panic. But don't worry Penguin People: the snow is on its way. There will be lots by Christmas. As for the rest of you (I love snow- mobiling) normal humans, consider yourselves lucky that the snow is as late as it is. It is inevitable though so you might as, well accept it. Remember, "every' .cloud has, a silver lining." Look. at thebright side of winter;. First of all, just think of all the fun that you can have when the roads are icy. Nothing beatshaving competitions with .friends to see who can do the most !doughnuts' with his car before ending up stuck in the ditch or a snowbank, until the spring thaw. And. when was the 'last time you got to, play slip -on -the -ice -and -fell -down? You ean't play frostbite in the summer either:. If all that isn't enough for yOu consider all the healthy outdoor exercise you will get when you shovel the two feet of snow out of the driveway. A good way to, lose, weight is to give all the green Stuff in your wallet to the tow -truck driver who boosted the ,ear's battery,pr got the vehicle out of that snowdrift which jumped out in front of you. One point which some people might see as being good -lou won't have to yield to this column's urgings to get out and go for, a long walk or a bicycle ride. Because of the winter climate' in our snowbelt, and due also to the rising costs of gasoline, it, makes sense to use a snow- mobile for pact of winter travelling. And obviously the machines are good for a lot morethan just transportation. To truly enjoy a good ride, more than one machine is needed. A good idea to be kept in mind by local riders, would be that of a snowmobile club. Such a club, aside from organizing long runs and events,; would be very useful during the blizzards which frequent the area. Several years ago a club did exist. Perhaps one coudl be formed again., Anyone who is, interested in forming a snowmobile , , achine is saowmobiie club vvhether, your m. one of the latest ;models, or is an old. clunker,, should contact meatthtaaddress; Paul Ellis: e/oTThe Huron Fspesitoft Box 69 Seeforth, Ont. or just'leave your name at the front desk. in the Expositor office. Smile (orperhaps to this case frown), for the Snow is on halm. THE HURON! :lPCP011 TOR, :NOVEM LOOK FAMILIAR? --Snow blizzard$, like the one which struck Seaforth and arealast : January, can .easily immobilize cars, On the other hand, nu a ,ryy, Y snowmobiles can go through: just about any type of winter weather, Aside from transportation, these machines create a popular winter sports as ,well.
