Where in NS are you located if you don't mind me asking?
Beaver Bank, essentially the worst place to be if you're hoping to get anywhere after a heavy snowfall. Well, the worst place that's not too far from civilization, anyway.
Also, in the spirit of keeping on topic, I took a walk down to the mailbox today after realizing I didn't bother to check it on Friday. It's hard to see in the picture, but there's a clear hard shell on the iPad now. I absolutely love the Smart Cover that I recently switched to, but I wouldn't hazard not having some back protection as well.
