FOG BLOG RIDICULOG: 'NEED MORE CLARITY' ON FIREWORKS IN SAINT JOHN!

FIRST THING YOU SEE WHEN YOU GO ON THE CITY OF SAINT JOHN FACEBOOK PAGE AND SEE THE INFO ON ANY FIREWORKS......IT TELLS YOU , FIREWORKS ON AT SUCH AND SUCH A TIME, WEATHER PERMITTING!!! USUALLY THAT MEANS IN THE WINTER, RAIN, SNOW, FOG......IN THE SUMMER, THUNDERSTORM WHICH INCLUDES RAIN AND FOGGY CONDITIONS WILL MEAN FIRE WORKS OFF! WELL FOLKS I CHECKED THE PAGE AND IT SAID THAT THE FIREWORKS WERE TO BE SET OFF 10 PM ON NEW YEAR'S EVE. I WAS GOING TO TAKE MOM TO SEE THEM BECAUSE SHE HAS NEVER SEEN THEM ON NEW YEAR'S EVE THE 30 ODD YEARS SHE HAS BEEN BACK HERE. AROUND 9: 50 OR SO I WENT OUTSIDE AND CHECKED.....THERE WAS A LIGHT RAIN FALLING AND THICK FOG! I WAITED TO SEE HOW HEAVY THE RAIN WAS GOING TO GET THEN I LISTENED AND ABOUT 5 AFTER I HEARD A SMALL BANG AND ANOTHER! I DECIDED TO NOT GO, IF THEY WERE PUTTING THEM OFF IT WOULD BE LIKE THE RESCHEDULED CANADA DAY ONES. THEY WENT ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND DONE, COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THE FOG! 2 DAYS AFTER CANADA DAY WAS BEAUTIFUL , THEY COULD HAVE SET THEM OFF AND AT NEW YEARS, NEW YEARS NIGHT WAS NICE TOO, BUT OH NO!!! THE CITY OF SAINT JOHN DOESN'T THINK OR CHECK THE WEATHER, THERE ARE 21ST CENTURY SOURCES FOR THAT. C'MON SAINT JOHN GET IT TOGETHER AND HAVE A CLEAR AND CONCISE COMMUNICATION WHEN IT COMES TO THE FIREWORKS HERE. WHEN I WENT ON THEIR PAGE LATER, A PERSON SAID THEY PUT THEM OFF AND I SAID TO MY LAP TOP SCREEN, IN THIS RAIN AND FOG?????.......WE NEED BETTER! IT COSTS MONEY TO PUT THE FIREWORKS OFF AND PEOPLE DON'T NEED TO GO OUT TO FIND OUT THEY CAN'T SEE THEM OR TO FIND OUT LATER THEY ARE POSTPONED. DO BETTER NEXT TIME SAINT JOHN, WE ARE FED UP!
