Early, early this Hockey Day morning I left Canada’s northernmost major city for its easternmost one. In fact, here in St. John’s, Newfoundland, I’m in both the easternmost city and the oldest European settlement (1540s?) in all of North America. This is also, according to official sources, the foggiest, snowiest, wettest, windiest, freezing-rainiest, and cloudiest city in Canada. Today, it is snowing, raining, foggy, cloudy, windy, and one hour and thirty minutes ahead of Eastern Standard Time.
