Neptune Drive-In Theatre Shediac Transformers 3 Dark of The Moon Movie

July 31, 2011 | Author: Moncton Blogger

Last chance for you to see Transformers 3 – Dark of the Moon at the Neptune Drive-In Theatre in Shediac. This is one movie you don’t want to miss!

If you liked the first two Transformers movies you’ll love this one. The only downfall I’d say is that Megan Fox is not in this movie. Great film!

Want to know something ironic? The transformer was blown on the first night it was suppose to play at the Neptune Drive-In Theatre on Friday night. All clients were refunded and NB Power was quick to fix it so all you movie lovers were able to watch Transformers 3 on Saturday night while others were out enjoying the U2 Concert in Moncton.

Judge Bans Sabrina Patterson’s Memorial Shirts From Fred Prosser Murder Hearing

July 30, 2011 | Author: Moncton Blogger

On Thursday the judge ordered that family and friends are banned from wearing the memorial shirts of Sabrina Patterson at the murder hearing of accused Fred Prosser.

Fred Prosser stands accused of murdering is ex-girlfriend and mother of his two children. Many people went to the court room wearing the purple shirts in memory of Sabrina Patterson. The defence attorney thought it was a way of intimidating his client. The judge unfortunately agreed and has since banned them from court.

Many people believe that this is just a way of showing their support to Sabrina Patterson’s family. It’s a way of remembering the loved one that was taken way too early. It’s sad that people can’t wear this in memory.

Do you think the judge was right in ordering the ban of the shirts from the court room. Share your thoughts and views.

Heavy Rainfall Warning For Moncton and Southeastern New Brunswick

March 7, 2011 | Author: Moncton Blogger

If it’s not snow Moncton is dealing with it’s now rain and lots of it! There is a rainfall warning into effect for Southeastern New Brunswick and we could see rainfall amounts between 40 – 60 millimetres by the time this storm ends Monday night. Many home owners are concerned for all the melting snow and flooding that may occur. This will cause flooding on roads with clogged drains and the city of Moncton will have its work cut out for them.

You may have seen on Sunday that the snowbanks are considerably smaller then they use to be. With this rain it will help motorist driving through the city as snowbanks have been a major safety concern for many people. It makes it very difficult and hard to see around street corners with those large snowbanks. I for one know all about it as I was struck by a vehicle last week while driving to work. With all this rain coming it will help for safer driving for sure but would you rather have snow or rain?

Rain sounds much better for me as spring will be here sooner and all that snow will be gone before you know it! Some however would much rather have snow as the concern for melting snow too fast will cause flooding in home owners basements. We’ll soon see how the effects of this latest rain storm impacted home owners and the city of Moncton.

What does this say for Moncton? Could it possibly be that spring is around the corner? Could winter be possibly over and no more snow for Moncton? Only time will tell but for the meantime keep your umbrella close to you as there’s much more rain to come for Moncton!

Blizzard In Moncton – Major Snowstorm Hitting The Maritimes Bringing Heavy Snowfall Amounts

February 25, 2011 | Author: Moncton Blogger

Moncton is yet again getting hit with another major snowstorm that will bring heavy snowfall amounts and a blizzard warning is in effect. Southern New Brunswick will see high snowfall amounts and Moncton will see close to 30 – 40cm by the time this snow storm ends. This blizzard warning comes with high winds anywhere from 80 – 90 km/h causing blowing snow and drifting. Due to the high winds expected there will be near zero visibility and drivers are urged to stay home. This system that is hitting us will bring some rain and snow to some other areas in Nova Scotia. Cindy Day from CTV News said that this will be probably the worst snowstorm we’ll have this winter season.

Blizzard Warning In Moncton - Heavy Snowfall Amounts 30-40cm Snowstorm Feb. 25th, 2010

This year Moncton has seen its fair share of snow and I can speak for the rest of us that we hope that spring comes soon. It’s been the first time in years that we’ve seen so much snow as for the past few years we’ve experienced warmer winters and not too much snow. We’ve definitely made up for it this year in Moncton which could be record snowfall amounts by the time this winter season is done.

Moncton is at risk of exceeding its $5 Million budget for plowing the city this year. They may perhaps exceed it but over the last 3-4 years I’d say they definitely haven’t used their budget up with the warm winters we’ve had. Another problem we’ve seen many people including business’s and home owners face is where roofs have collapsed due to the weight of the snow. It is highly recommended that home owners and business owners clear off the snow especially with the expected snowfall amountsto hit Moncton with this latest storm.

This winter season has been one to remember and it’s not over yet Moncton. There may be another low pressure system to hit Moncton early next week. Will the snow ever end? Get the shovel ready as this latest snowstorm expected to end on Saturday morning is going to be a wild one Moncton.

One winter snowstorm will hit Tuesday bringing at least 10 cm or more and another scheduled to hit sometime Thursday or Friday. So far this winter Moncton has seen the most snow in years.

Another Winter Snowstorm On Its Way Moncton! More Snow For The Maritimes

January 31, 2011 | Author: Moncton Blogger

Moncton are you ready for yet another snowstorm? That’s right we are getting yet another snow storm this coming Wednesday that is shaping up to be quite the storm! We just finished shovelling out from the last snowstorm last week and the Maritimes will be getting more snow again.

This snowstorm is coming from Ontario that will have quite an impact. Eastern Canada has received their fair share of snow this year and winter isn’t over. Will it ever end? In Moncton we have been literally getting one snowstorm a week it seems like for the past 6-7 weeks. We’re literally running out of room to put the snow.

This Moncton snowstorm to hit on Wednesday and parts of Thursday is expected to bring 25-35cm of snow. By the size of the storm I wouldn’t doubt that we’ll receive more. It’s been quite a winter so far and it isn’t over yet!

Kids you can most likely expect another day off school on Wednesday and potentially Thursday as well. It’s been quite some time that we’ve seen so many storm days causing school closures in years it seems. Kids are sure loving it but what does it mean about summer vacation. There has been some concern lately about how many days kids have had off school due to storms and will it impact there summer vacation. Only time will tell what nature has in store and how many more snowstormswill hit Moncton this winter.

Stay tuned for more updates on this latest storm that’s brewing to hit Moncton on Wednesday. Get ready to pull out your shovels this one is going to bring heavy snowfall amounts again!

If you think this is something The Weather Network is calling for 10+cm of snow for Saturday as well. Is another snowstorm coming this weekend? Moncton could be in for quite a week!
